Prime Minister Gaston Browne says certain teachers in Antigua and Barbuda are engaging in political activism, which he believes is aimed at undermining the nation’s reputation.

In recent months, public school educators have participated in various strike actions in response to unresolved issues with the government.

    Some of the teachs are politically aligned and so are taking political actions against the government by impeding the kids education.

    Fire them? And leave the already dumb kids of Antigua dumber? Who’s going to teach when the teachers are fired? Its time enough employees stand up to their employers when not feeling appreciated or when treated like trash. You’d be shocked to know how much your employer needs you.

    This man makes everything political. He ignores the suffering students and Hurting teachers just to be political. It’s Ridiculous. What next? He’s going to say that the teachers was recruited by UPP and the union?
