Island Council gets yearly update from local schools
Subject: Island Council gets yearly update from local schools
June 16, 2009 (SGIS) – The Bottom, Saba:
Last week, the Island Council of Saba visited each of the schools to meet with the Directors and get a summarized report on the 2008/2009 year-end. Each Director expressed their views and concerns about the transition and their new relationships with the Dutch. Some areas that were discussed were the Dutch inspection teams, standardized testing, and the language of instruction.
These meetings gave the Island Council the opportunity to meet with the two schools for a yearly report, which is typically only performed with the Commissioner of Education. Both Directors showed concern about their new relationship with the Dutch Ministry of Education, but assured the Island Council that they are preparing to face any new challenges in the upcoming school year.
