Classes at the Charles F. Broome Memorial Primary School ended early today after complaints of lingering odours following industrial cleaning.
The Ministry of Education Transformation said that while the school had been prepared for classes, some areas continued to have strong odours, which led to discomfort among teachers and staff.
As a result, the decision was taken to close the school early to allow additional time for the odours to dissipate. Parents were asked to collect their children at noon, and the school remained closed for the rest of the day.
The Ministry apologised for the inconvenience caused by the early closure. (MEdT)
