Welcome to the official website of the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves has announced that an additional 40 (forty) relief teaching positions will be filled this week to buttress the overall teaching capacity.

Dr. Gonsalves said due to the late departure of some teachers on Pre-retirement Leave as well as Study Leave granted for another 25 (twenty-five) teachers, there is a void within the system that must be filled.

“There were budgeted number of relief teachers and indeed there were numbers budgeted above what was anticipated at the time …. but 25 teachers granted study leave pretty late clearly creates a void and we have to fill those,” Dr. Gonsalves said.

The Prime Minister, who was speaking on radio on Monday. 5th September, 2022, indicated that the formal instruments are being put in place to have these positions filled before the end of the week.
