Education Ministry officially rolls out ‘Let’s Teach VI’ initiative


"‘The Let’s Teach VI’ initiative is a crucial step in building a pool of educators locally, as we continue to reimagine education in the Virgin Islands. We are dedicated to attracting talented individuals who are passionate about teaching and making a positive impact on the lives of our students,” she said in a GIS release.
Honourable de Castro said the initiative offers two pathways in teaching, namely a Teacher Trainee or a Teacher Recruit.
The Teacher Trainee Programme targets recent high school graduates by offering a direct pathway into the teaching profession through on-the-job training, mentorship and academic enrichment and the Teacher Recruit Programme is intended to attract college graduates from every academic major, occupation, and background into the teaching profession.
Trainees will be assigned with Sr teachers
Trainee teachers will be assigned to a classroom to work alongside a senior teacher and both Teacher Trainees and Teacher Recruits will be enrolled at the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College’s Institute of Education to become a qualified teacher.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Dr. Marcia E. Potter said interested persons must complete the application form to be considered for the programme.
“The Ministry of Education will review applications and inform individuals if they have progressed to the interview stage. Upon completion of the process, applicants will receive an update on the status of their application,” she said.
Persons can regester for the programme at https://shorturl.at/fuyK0 or email letsTEACHVI@vischools.edu.vg or call 468-2757 for more information.
