All schools will be closed today, October 1, 2020.
The Ministry of Education, Technological and Vocational Training (METVT) indicated this was due to the predicted weather system and potential for flooding, and in the interest of the safety of teachers, parents and students.
The Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology, the Barbados Community College and Erdiston Teachers College will also be closed and should engage students using the online modality where possible.
The City and Guilds English and Mathematics examinations scheduled for today were also postponed and an alternative date will be sent to students writing these exams (BGIS)
