General Secretary of the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) Coretta McDonald says that it is too early to pronounce on the allegations made against Bishops’ High School teacher Coen Jackson and she has criticised the very public means used in the reporting of the claims.
When contacted yesterday, McDonald opined that the right approach had not been taken in addressing the allegations and, therefore, the pain of the alleged victims has been “compounded by social media.”
The allegations against economics teacher Coen Jackson were first presented on Facebook last week by Cultural Advisor to the Ministry of Education Ruel Johnson, although neither Jackson nor the school had initially been named.
