However, whether or not teaching will occur at the Waterford institution may be another matter.

That was the concern hundreds of parents of Combermerians had as they packed the Major Noot Hall yesterday afternoon at a just over three-hour meeting with the executive of the Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union (BSTU), teachers, officials of the ministries of Education and Labour and volunteer experts shed no further light on the mystery.
