Parents doing last-minute shopping in Port-of- Spain say they are grateful for the Government’s one-week extension to the July-August vacation, as it gave them more time to earn the money for schoolbooks and supplies.
In August, Minister of Education Dr Michael Dowlath announced that schools would reopen on September 8, instead of the second day of the month.
Father of seven Sherwin Fernandez said if the date had not been changed, his children would not have been able to attend school for the first week.
