Classroom, the best choice for students Article by May 26, 2021 The Barbados Association of Guidance Counsellors is fully in agreement with students returning to the classroom. President of the association Dr Patricia Welch firmly believes that even as the country continues to battle COVID-19, it is vital that students are allowed to interact with their teachers and friends in a face-to-face setting. Her comments follow an eventful return to face-to-face classes. At least three schools have been closed because of positive COVID-19 cases among students. Since the resumption of physical classes on May 2, the Princess Margaret Secondary School, Ellerslie Secondary and most recently Vauxhall Primary, have all been forced to temporarily close their doors.
