Last update: 10 hours agoEducation & Mental Health: A new wave of criticism says some school leaders in SVG are running classrooms like personal fiefdoms, using micromanagement and one-sided reports that demoralize teachers and harm students. Separately, advocates are calling out how mentally ill people are treated after public attacks and police shootings, urging better care, upgrades to the Mental Health Centre, and safer support at hospitals. Public Safety & Health Impacts: Police report a fatal Arnos Vale pedestrian death after a driver allegedly failed to renew his licence; the case is now before the Serious Offences Court. In the same area, a businessman was fatally shot at home, with a post-mortem expected as police investigate.

Health Systems & Capacity: PAHO and UWI highlighted a Caribbean health leadership programme graduating its third cohort, including participants from SVG, aimed at strengthening policy and health systems. Health Security & Biosafety: SVG hosted its first national workshop on Biological Weapons Convention implementation, training participants and linking work to Milton Cato Memorial Hospital laboratories.
