I'm new to the forum, so forgive me as I've not had time to search all of the archives. I've done *some* research online and have called the Ministry of Education - was a little difficult to get firm answers on some of my questions.
I currently teach science - very highly qualified with advanced degrees and national certification.
If you are a teacher in the Bahamas - can you provide insight on the government schools? Working conditions? Salary (I know it will be a significant pay cut to what we have now)? How difficult to get a government school job as a non-Bahamian? We are looking at GBI - not New Providence, so I'm hoping someone who lives there can respond.
If you are not in a govt school - what private school options? I've seen a few online - most are religion based except for Lucaya International School. Same questions as above.
My husband is researching setting up his own business there - we know he needs a Bahamian citizen as a "partner" to get it up and running - we are working with someone on that. But, if you are a business owner there already, can you provide any insight as to the timetable to do something like this?
We are a ways off on doing this - I"m essentially under contract for at least 3 years. I know teaching jobs are probably going to be few and far between, but we are ready to leave the US.
Thank you in advance to any advice/insights you can offer :)
