Fault it affected Kingston, St. Thomas, Clarendon and

This week we have seen two more outside recruitment agencies
from the USA and UK again approach our teachers to relocate
to their countries. We have also seen no resolution in
the current pay discussions taking place between our teachers
and the Government. As more teachers decide to 'opt out'
of Jamaica - Go-Jamaica.com
provides you with the opportunity to ask the Minister
