MP looking to remove shift system from schools

Member of Parliament (MP) for St Ann North East Matthew Samuda is working to have the shift system removed from schools in that constituency.

During his address in the State of the Constituency Debate in the House of Representatives last week, Samuda said there are big dreams for education in the constituency.

“These dreams include taking all schools off shift, all secondary schools moving away from City & Guilds exams to a minimum CXC standard, and redevelopment of the Buckfield playing field as a central homework and youth sports hub, [and] for the development of a HEART/NSTA Trust academy for the constituency,” Samuda said.
