KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Fi We Children Foundation (FWCF) is urging government agencies to intervene immediately to ensure children affected by the demolition of homes in Cooper’s Pen, Trelawny, can return to school when the new term begins on September 7.
In a statement issued Wednesday, FWCF expressed concern over reports from parents that some children may be unable to return to classes until January as their families continue to face uncertainty following the demolitions.
The foundation stressed that housing instability must not disrupt children’s access to education, noting that every effort must be made to ensure affected students can attend school without unnecessary delay.
