Breakfast Program Prep and School Readiness | Barbados News

Barbados’ teachers are gearing up for the new school term, with the Union of Teachers holding its breath as the Ministry finalizes crucial changes to school assistants’ roles — specifically to support a new breakfast program launching September 7th. While teachers won’t be serving food, they’ll supervise students during this pre-class meal, which is set to begin before school bells ring. The union has already met with both assistants and ministry officials, expecting a written decision soon. Meanwhile, schools must be ready for teachers returning next Tuesday for planning week — and if any aren’t safe or finished, the union vows to report them immediately. With summer maintenance wrapping up, inspections are underway to ensure every school is prepared for a smooth start to the term.
