PROTEST ACTION COULD hit the St Joseph Primary School today as frustrated parents call attention to the negative impact of chronic water outages on their children’s education.
The action is being led by Horse Hill resident Andrew Dixon, who last week led scores of St Joseph residents in a demonstration outside the Barbados Water Authority (BWA) headquarters in the Pine, St Michael.
The community activist, who has a child attending the school, promised a protest today on behalf of the children and those teachers he said refused to speak out for fear of victimisation.
Yesterday, the second day of the new school term, students of the school at Horse Hill were forced to return home because there was no water. Scores of youngsters had to be collected by their parents and guardians at lunchtime. (MR)
