Consumer Foundation Finds Big Price Gaps for Meat, Deli, and Produce

The digital program 'Rònt di Katròl' (Around the Steering Wheel), produced by Extra Curaçao, is airing an episode dedicated to the topic of traffic. Host Rilley will lead conversations with several driving instructors during the broadcast. The show takes place in the courtyard of the Extra Curaçao building, giving it an informal, community-centered format. The focus on traffic safety is timely, as road behavior and driver education remain ongoing concerns across the island. By bringing driving instructors into the conversation, the program aims to inform viewers about safe driving practices and the state of driver training in Curaçao. The episode appears to be part of a recurring series that tackles local community topics through dialogue. No specific broadcast time was mentioned in the available excerpt.

More than 900,000 secondary school students returning to class soon will receive significantly fewer hours of technology education than students did in 2007, according to a report from Nu.cw. The number of technology lesson hours in the lower grades of secondary school has dropped by roughly half since 2007. This decline raises concerns about the preparedness of young people for careers in technical and STEM-related fields. The reduction reflects a broader trend in curriculum prioritization that has shifted time away from technical subjects. Educators and policymakers are increasingly worried that this gap could have long-term consequences for the workforce and economic development in the region. The issue is particularly relevant for Curaçao, where technical skills are seen as critical for sectors such as construction, engineering, and energy. No immediate policy response has been announced to reverse the decline in technology instruction hours.

Fundashon Museo Tula, in partnership with Fundashon Kiminá, has announced the launch of 'Vlam di Libertat 2026' (Flame of Freedom 2026), a series of three cultural and educational events in Willemstad, Curaçao. The initiative is designed to commemorate the 1795 slave revolt led by Tula, one of the most significant moments in Curaçao's history. The series aims to create meaningful space for education, dialogue, and reflection on the legacy of that struggle for freedom. Tula's 1795 uprising is widely regarded as a defining chapter in the island's fight against slavery and colonial oppression. By organizing these events, the two foundations seek to engage the community — particularly younger generations — in understanding and honoring that history. The activities are expected to take place leading up to the 2026 anniversary year. No specific dates for individual events have been announced yet.
