The Education Ministry says all schools will be able to reopen on schedule on September 8, as 246 schools have had their full scope of repairs completed and another 25 are in the final phases of upgrades as of September 2.

In a statement on September 2 in response to questions from Newsday, the ministry said it had successfully executed its July/August vacation repair programme (VRP), which targeted 279 government and government-assisted primary and secondary schools for upgrades.
