Prescod wants more Bajan books in primary schools

Trevor Prescod, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office with responsibility for Pan African Affairs, is advocating for more Barbadian-written books in primary schools to promote local culture and literature. He believes that incorporating Bajan books into the curriculum will help students appreciate their heritage and foster a sense of pride in their cultural identity. This initiative is crucial in a globalized world where local narratives often get overshadowed, making it essential to highlight and celebrate regional contributions to literature.
