I am amazed to see so many smiling faces around the table when bullying at the schools has developed to such an extent, that several parents have decided to leave Saba for the safety and mental health of their children.
2 years ago, parents had already complained about the situation. Recently, the Inspectorate of Education has found an unacceptable situation at the primary school.
But this article shows happy and satisfied professionals.
“There is something rotten in the state of Saba”, Shakespeare would conclude.
