RETIRED principal of the Manchester-based Mandeville Primary and Junior High School, Byron Farquharson, was recently honoured for his 44 years of service to education.
At an appreciation function held at the Kendal Conference Centre in Manchester, Farquharson was lauded for his work to transform the former Mandeville All-Age to its current status of being a choice school where parents queue to enrol their children.
Representatives from the civic groups, the
school, Ministry of Education, Jamaica Teachers’ Association and the Caribbean Union of Teachers — two organisations where Farquharson served as president — were among persons in attendance at the ceremony.
