The BWU says it recognises that there may be shortages in some skill areas but says local workers must be given a fair opportunity.

- Description
- From Italy to Greece to the Dominican Republic, Brian “The Action Man” Talma is back on Barbadian shores, fresh from another leg of his 2026 Beach Culture World Tour.
However, his return is only temporary.
The globetrotting sports tourism advocate is already preparing to head back out, with Hawaii next on the itinerary, as he continues his mission to execute what he describes as a global organic tourism master plan.
Talma made a brief stop on the Morning Barbados show on TV8, reflecting on the latest chapter of his international tour.
From Europe to the Caribbean, Talma says his journeys are about far more than simply visiting destinations.
He says it is about connecting with communities, experiencing their culture, and finding meaningful ways to give back to the people and places along the way.

- Literacy among young children in the school system has improved.
This is according to Minister of Education, Transformation and Innovation Chad Blackman, providing an update on some of the Ministry’s programmes.
He says research shows the improvement is a result of the Ministry requiring schools to dedicate reading time for students.
Noting that the efforts must continue, Minister Blackman says if children are unable to read, they will only go so far and no further in life.
