The Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) has called on corporate Barbados to help maintain schools across the island and suggested that Government offer incentives for businesses to do so.And while the Barbados Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has indicated it is open to discussions on the matter, it says certain conditions would have to be in place for such an arrangement to be possible.In an interview with Barbados TODAY, BUT president Rudy Lovell said that based on the number of schools in need of major repair, it appeared the Ministry of Education did not have the financial resources to deal with outstanding issues.He suggested that the private sector should partner with the Government to ensure students have access to a comfortable learning environment with all the necessary amenities and facilities.
