Little support for petition to pay school ‘shadows’ more
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
THE Government is being pressed to provide “fair compensation of school shadows” in Jamaica's public education system, with some trained classroom aides reportedly earning less than the minimum wage.

The call, mounted on the Jamaica House Petition online portal on April 1 this year, simply states, “We, the undersigned, respectfully and urgently call on the Government of Jamaica to intervene on behalf of school shadows who support students with disabilities across our public education system.”
