A SOURCE at Combermere School has reported that students there are falling sick following the return of the environmental problems.

Speaking to the WEEKEND NATION yesterday, the anonymous a source said that since the start of the new term, students, in particular, were complaining of sore throat, itchy skin and headaches, which in some cases caused them to leave early.

This news follows a report by Barbados Secondary Teachers’ Union President (BSTU) Mary Redman on Thursday that she had received similar reports from within the school.

Redman said that teachers and students were reporting that like last year, similar odours and symptoms of illness had returned. (AD)
