Makeshift classrooms are being erected at the Ocho Rios Primary School in St Ann, to ensure that more than 1,100 students can return to a single-shift school when the 2026-2027 academic year begins in September.

Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Skills, Youth and Information, Senator Marlon Morgan, said the temporary facilities are being provided to ensure that the school can maintain its single-shift arrangement.

The Ocho Rios Primary School officially transitioned off the shift system to a single-shift, traditional all-day schedule in September 2024.
