BUT ought not be seeking another extended holiday with pay for teachers Dear Editor, Bahamas Union of Teachers (BUT) President Belinda Wilson’s call for the closure of schools in New Providence and the Family Islands due to increasing COVID-19 infections might not be sitting too well with thousands of jobless Bahamian parents, especially on Grand Bahama and Abaco. I am of the belief that civil servants, particularly teachers in the Ministry of Education, have got it made. Despite being furloughed for extended periods of time in 2020, they still got paid, while thousands of Bahamians had to tow long lines at the Department of Social Services and the National Insurance Board for handouts.
