Parents making transfer requests

WHILE?SOME?PARENTS were revelling in their children’s performance in this year’s Common Entrance Examination, several others headed down to the Ministry of Education yesterday morning seeking transfers.
From as early as 8 o’clock, dozens of disgruntled and annoyed parents arrived at the ministry’s Constitution Road headquarters, some crying injustice for what they described as unfair treatment of their children.
Yesterday was the deadline for parents seeking transfers for their children.
One visibly upset mother, who chose not to give her name, said it was unreasonable for her daughter, who attended Sharon Primary and lives in St Thomas, to have to go all the way to St George Secondary. She argued that her daughter could have been placed at Springer Memorial or another school which was more central.
