Breaking Barriers: The Reality of Special Education in Our Schools

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 trainingThe stigma and misunderstanding that still surrounds special educationThe emotional and financial toll on familiesWhat inclusive education could look like if we committed to changeThis 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. 🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and wherever you listen. 🔗 Visit our YouTube for the full video episode.

Sir John Major, former UK Prime Minister - are the lessons of WW2 being forgotten?

Nick Robinson speaks to Sir John Major, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It’s 80 years since VE day marked the end of WW2 in Europe - and Sir John reflects on the lessons that should be remembered from the conflict. He is the last British Prime Minister who was alive during the Second World War. Sir John warns democracy should not be taken for granted, and is in retreat in some parts of the world - where tyranny is instead taking its place. He sets out his belief in fighting for the freedom of Ukraine, in a stronger NATO, and in a united Europe able to defend itself. The former Prime Minister also looks back at previous Victory in Europe days, and the moving ceremonies, moments and people that have stayed with him.
