Prime Minister Gaston Browne has announced that Potters Primary School will be renamed in honour of veteran educator Genevieve “Teacher Gen” Smith, who died last week.
The decision recognises Teacher Gen’s lifelong commitment to education and community service. She spent more than four decades in the classroom, playing a central role in educating generations of children and contributing to the social development of the Potters community.
Widely respected for her discipline, dedication and passion for teaching, Teacher Gen was not only an educator but also a mentor to colleagues and a steady guiding presence for families in the area. Her influence extended well beyond the school, leaving a lasting legacy in the lives of countless former students and residents.

She had to die to get her flowers.
You are so right!! At her age, the pension that she was getting may have been barely enough to buy nutritious food. An now she dead de running to put she name pon one school building??? De cudda do dat before she dead. An increase she pension before she ded!!
Whenever Public Sector workers get increase, pensioners should get an increase as well. A 1980s pension, in this day and age is not even for food money today.
GDP going up. Pensioners spending power going down!
A DIS IS IN A ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE!!
All they ask for is to be able to afford life. A salary increase. But Instead we prefer to honor them when they are dead.
We are a sick sick sick species.
RIP mama Gen. We love you. May your death open the eyes of us all. Teachers deserve flowers before death.
Thats usually the case. Something has to happen for something to happen
Great decision. Goooooooodddddd . She lived. She loved. She was very simple. Never boastful. She just loved people.
She taught with discipline and love. Many of us are who we are today because of her
Well deserved. Teacher Gen helped raise half of Potters. Her name belongs on that school.
She wasn’t just a teacher she was a community builder. Rest in peace, Teacher Gen.
She deseves an official funeral
