Commissioner of Education to host Parent Meetings

The Ministry of Education is inviting parents to attend a series of meetings with the Commissioner of Education, Dr. Edmond Heatley.  The Ministry has planned four meetings, the first will be held tomorrow evening at West Pembroke Primary School at 7 p.m.

Commissioner Heatley explained the purpose of the meeting, “Since arriving in Bermuda, I’ve had opportunities to meet with teachers and students. I had promised to meet with parents to provide a forum for them to openly share and provide feedback on the Bermuda Public School system.” 

He added, “We need parents to be actively involved in our school system and at the same time the Ministry will continue to engage and provide support for our parents.  Parents are an integral part of making an education system successful.”

The meeting schedule is as follows:

Tuesday, 22 October                      West Pembroke School

Thursday, 24 October                     T.N. Tatem Middle School

Monday, November 4                    Sandys Middle School

Thursday, November 7                   East End Primary School

All meetings will begin at 7 p.m. Commissioner Heatley will make a presentation outlining the plans to improve our schools, followed by a period for questions.
