New deputy principal appointments announced
Deputy principals have been appointed at 25 public schools as part of the Education Ministry’s efforts to spread teaching skills across the Island.The Department of Education selected the deputies, a departure from the past process in which principals picked their own number twos.A Ministry statement said candidates were interviewed in front of panels including principals and Department officials; principals then made recommendations to the Department, which made the final decision.Minister Dame Jennifer Smith stated: “The Department of Education has created a professional development framework for these deputy principals over the following year.“There is also an expectation and a responsibility on principals to ensure accountability.”
