Description

As schools gear up for the September term, the Ministry of Education is racing to keep classes running despite lingering damage from Hurricane Melissa. With some schools still under repair, plans include staggered schedules and practical workarounds to minimize disruption. Officials are pushing contractors to speed up progress while maintaining quality, especially after costly delays at schools like Glen Stuart Primary—where roofing and windows are behind schedule due to weather and supply shortages. Despite the chaos, the dedication of staff and contractors is evident, as the ministry works to ensure every student returns to a safe, functional learning environment.
