We have many Bahamians who feel they do not need an education to advance and “be in charge” of the wealth and opportunities in our country and that is not true. It is not true anywhere else in the world and it is not true in The Bahamas. It is easy to blame a foreigner for what you do not have, because then you do not have to look at where you need to improve or change.

Poor education is the reason many of us are easily deceived and manipulated by the powers that be. Poor education is the reason many of us are making personal life decisions that keep us in poverty and servitude. When your thinking is low, so shall your position in life be.
