Teachers Threaten to shut down schools
The Bahamas Union of Teachers plans to shut down the public school system by taking industrial action on International World Teacher's Day if they are not paid promised salary increases.
Kingsley Black, BUT president, said that there will be a national crisis on October 5 when 50,000 public school students will have no teachers to teach them.
The only way to prevent such a crisis, said Mr. Black is if government pays teachers money owed them.
