As the July/August vacation repair programme got underway yesterday, Education Minister Dr Michael Dowlath assured that the Government intends to have all schools open on time for the new academic year.
Recognising the recurring issue of delayed school reopenings due to unfinished repairs, Dowlath confirmed that work had started at 278 schools across the country. He made the announcement after launching the San Fernando Municipal Police’s Youth Empowerment Camp at San Fernando Central Secondary School.
Dowlath said the National Maintenance Training and Security Company (NMTS) has already scoped works for over 200 schools, with contractors expected on site this week. The Ministry of Education will soon release information about the schools included in the first phase.
