STATEMENT| The Progressive Liberal Party is saddened by the death of Stalwart Councilor, Clarence Carroll. Beyond his staunch support for the ideals and tenets of the Progressive Liberal Party and his active role in the achievements of Majority Rule and our country’s Independence, Clarence Carroll was a trail blazer in the modernization of Education in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. His journey in Education was remarkable. He rose from a class room monitor in his hometown of Long Island to Director in the Ministry of Education where his dedicated and strategic leadership impacted the standard of Education nationally. Among his many accomplishments as Director was the implementation of vocational courses in high schools as an alternative to the traditional academic curricula.
