Holland Primary’s Classroom Crisis | Jamaica News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Holland Primary School is in a bind—short five classrooms for 215 students, with only three functional ones left after Hurricane Melissa wiped out a donated wooden structure and left an old, mold-ridden building unusable. The Ministry of Education is stepping in with tents to add four more classrooms, forcing teachers to team-teach and classes to merge. To combat the rainy season, they’re shifting schedules to start at 7:30 AM and lunch at 12:30 PM, squeezing in extra morning learning time. Portable air conditioners are also being eyed for comfort, and a parliamentary secretary recently visited to explore long-term fixes.
