Bermuda needs execution and integrity, Mr Burt (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday’s Premier’s Question Period raised a straightforward issue: how should Bermudians measure the performance of their Government?" Minister Jason Hayward, while seeking to become Premier, has spoken about the need for better execution on major issues facing Bermuda. Curtis Dickinson has made integrity and telling Bermudians the truth central to his campaign. Those are important standards by which any Government can be judged. Yesterday, I asked the Premier why, after nine years of his lea
Education reforms need to put students first (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every morning, long before most of Bermuda wakes up, I can be found on a pool deck working with young people. Some dream of representing Bermuda at the Olympics.

This was never about claiming that full Caricom membership would automatically end visa-free travel to the United States. It was about making sure t
Rabain must take action to rebuild trust (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a recent media interview, Diallo Rabain, the Minister of Education, acknowledged that the Progressive Labour Party government needs to rebuild the trust of parents and teachers. I appreciate his sentiment because trust is essential if education reform is going to succeed.

Those are importan
