While some minor work will have to be done at some schools, all will be ready for the start of the Michaelmas term next week.

In addition, the Ministry of Education is preparing to reopen Alma Parris School by January 2025.

Those were some of the announcements Minister of Education Kay McConney made yesterday during a press conference at the Ministry’s Elsie Payne Complex, Constitution Road, St Michael.

“This year there were 26 schools that were a part of the Summer Programme. I was told by [director of Education Technical Management Unit] Francisco Miller that the majority of the schools are either completed or close to completion,” McConney said.

She added that while supply challenges affected some of the repairs, they would be completed as they carried out a year-long maintenance programme. (TG)
