General Secretary of the Barbados Union of Teachers, Herbert Gittens, joins State of Our Nation this week to look at this year’s Common Entrance results.

This group had online teaching in both Class 3 and Class 4, and there was not a significant difference in the results when compared to last year.

The performance of private vs public schools and the readiness of the Barbados education system for online teaching are also discussed with host Colville Mounsey.
