ST JOHN'S, Antigua: A secondary school teacher within the public system in Antigua and Barbuda tendered his resignation immediately on Tuesday after he was caught presenting a fake document to education officials.
The teacher, whose name is being withheld at this time, was seeking to be upgraded to a graduate assistant, and his certificates were being reviewed when it was discovered that the Bachelors Degree in Sociology, which he claimed to have obtained from the University of Guyana in 1997 was fake.
It was in the presence of both law enforcement officers and education officials that the teacher who was first appointed to the system in October 1998, confessed to purchasing the degree in Guyana for one hundred US dollars, the equivalent of twenty thousand Guyana dollars.
