Barbados’ future depends on how well our education system prepares students for the realities of the workforce. In this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we take a deep dive into how technical and vocational education (TVET) can help bridge the gap between classrooms and careers.

As Barbados marks the Season of Emancipation, this episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation brings the conversation full circle — from colonial history to contemporary calls for justice.

Season 2 · Episode 4

Sunday, July 20, 2025 • Duration 01:14:59

Once a celebration of the end of the sugar cane harvest and a reflection of Barbadian identity, Crop Over has evolved into a massive commercial spectacle filled with fetes, celebrities, and corporate sponsorships. But has something been lost along the way?

Patrick “Salt” Bellamy, a voice of social commentary in soca and on radio,
Dane Marshall, seasoned promoter and event planner,

Breaking Barriers: The Reality of Special Education in Our Schools

Season 2 · Episode 3

Sunday, July 6, 2025 • Duration 57:03

In Barbados, the promise of education for all doesn’t always match the lived reality—especially for students with learning differences. In this powerful episode of Jus’ Ah Conversation, we take a hard look at the state of special education on the island. Are we truly supporting our most vulnerable learners, or are too many falling through the cracks?

Hosts Mikul Elcock and Aisha Reid sit down with guests who bring both professional and personal experience to the table—educators, advocates, and parents who’ve had to fight for resources, recognition, and respect within a system that often isn’t built to accommodate difference.

🗣️ Guests:
Tania Belgrave
Asha Alleyne-Renwick
Akio Nurse

We explore:

The gaps in policy, infrastructure, and training
The stigma and misunderstanding that still surrounds special education
The emotional and financial toll on families
What inclusive education could look like if we committed to change

This isn’t just a conversation about the classroom—it’s about justice, dignity, and the future of our children. If we say we believe in equity, it’s time to act like it.
