Leighton Johnson, the Principal of the Muschett High School in Trelawny believes the government’s intention to introduce paternity leave for the first time in the public sector is a significant step in stabilizing homes, thereby fixing some of the societal ills.

Finance Minister Dr. Nigel Clarke says the specifics of the paternity leave are being finalized, adding that the appropriate circular giving effect to the compensation changes will be sent to government workers by September 30. Watch the report below:
