“The time has come for us to work more closely recognizing at the end of the day that the students are the ones who will either benefit or suffer as a result of our actions and/or inactions,” says Senior Schools Welfare Officer Bernice Corbin-Zephyr.
Corbin-Zephyr was at the time speaking at a one day workshop organized by Region Four’s Department of Education for PTA Executives, according to a media release from Region Four.
“There are a number of social ills affecting not only the staff at schools, but also PTAs and also this has resulted in several of the schools having strained relationships with some of their PTA’s, thus we recognized the need for an urgent workshop which will help in ironing out several of the issues affecting both schools and PTAs,” Corbin-Zephyr, the coordinator of the workshop, was further quoted in the Region Four release.
