Cancellation of INTERCOL Games 2019

The Grenada Association of Principals of Secondary Schools, proprietor of INTERCOL Games, has cancelled INTERCOL Games 2019.

The Grenada Association of Principals of Secondary Schools wishes to inform the general public that there will be NO INTERCOL Games in 2019.

The success of these Games over the years have depended entirely on the volunteerism of teachers across the nation, going beyond the call of duty to prepare our students and to execute the games.

As a result of the current industrial impasse between the Grenada Union of Teachers and the Government of Grenada, teachers have been resolute in their decision to not volunteer their time towards the staging of preliminary events and heats that lead up to the games. In addition, teachers are not prepared to manage students beyond the stipulated working hours.

Therefore, as the proprietor of the INTERCOL Games, the Grenada Association of Principals of Secondary Schools together with the Grenada Secondary School Games Association and our title sponsor, had to take the difficult decision to cancel the GAMES for 2019. We have agreed to begin the process of planning and preparing for our INTERCOL Games in 2020.

It is our hope that all matters relative to the current industrial impasse between the Grenada Union of Teachers and the Government of Grenada will be speedily resolved in the interest of preserving the spirit of volunteerism and goodwill within the teaching fraternity.

    Wrong and Strong

    This is a very sad commentary on the part of the Grenada Union of Teachers. The leadership of the Union is highly incompetent and lacks creativity and have led their members to an untenable position with this ill-conceived and ill-advised industrial action. If they are so convinced in the righteousness of their cause I challenge them to take the Government to court. But they know that they have no case so they have resorted to attempting to blackmail the Government by taking the students hostage.

    Thank God that we have a highly competent, visionary and brilliant Prime Minister in the person of Dr. the Rt. Hon. Keith Mitchell who is playing multidimensional chess while the GUT Is playing checkers. Dr. Mitchell know that the teachers never voted for him and will never vote for him. He is not losing any votes in this impasse. He will continue to invest heavily in the young people of Grenada.

    I hope the GUT is paying attention to what is happening in the United States, a country with an over $20 trillion economy. Government workers are unable to work through no fault of their own and they are NOT GETTING PAID. The universal organizing principle is a honest days work for a honest days pay.

    No one should be allowed to wantonly disrupt the peaceful order of the State without consequences otherwise we become a wash-your-foot-and-come country.

    STAND FIRM DOC.
