‘Education Ministry focused on improving governance on schools’

Reading Time: 3 minutesMinister of Education, Skills, Youth and Information Dana Morris Dixon said governance and the focus that the Education Transformation Oversight Committee (ETOC) has placed on schools is extremely important.

She stated that strong schools do not exist without strong leadership, and so the boards and principals are important. “So when you see some of what we are doing, it is because we want to strengthen the governance framework. You’re going to see a lot more of that happening. We’re also looking at our principals too and the training that a principal needs,” she said.
