"Yes they should. I think teachers have to go through a lot. Compensation for teachers is not at the desired level, so the Government should do anything they can to help. Incentives could help, such as book grants for their children. I know that for some universities, if you are a lecturer there, your child can attend for free. I don't know if we can go that far for other schools, but now that education is free, maybe we should remove auxiliary fees for teachers who are parents. I think, maybe, the focus should be offering incentives to go into teaching. Maybe we would have better teachers and better output."

"Teachers are underpaid at this time and some of them have children at high school and pre-school, and the cost of living has increased. So I think the government should offer them incentives."
O' Neil Perrin
"Yes. Prices of goods and services are rising every day, while there have been minimal changes in the salaries of teachers. If education is the key, it's a fact that teachers would like to send their children to school while they are teaching others to reach a high educational level."
Kareem Constantine
"Yes. Because in my opinion, teachers aren't compensated for the job they do, giving them incentives will help them and their students."
Ashley-Ann Coote
"Monetary help, because some of them don't get enough and they have kids too and have to spend a lot of time with other people's kids. So, I think it's only fair."
Donna Mae Jackson
"I believe quite frankly that our teachers are not appropriately remunerated in this country. I would rather see teachers, whether they are parents or not, be dealt with in a more serious and structured way. My focus would be on parents in general, otherwise you risk going into the argument: Should parents who are engineers, or anything else be treated differently?"
