President of the National Parent Teacher Association (NPTA), Walter Stewart, says the Education Ministry intends to rent the 300-plus chairs needed for students of South East Port-of-Spain Secondary School (SEPOS), at least in the short term, as it is not the only school in need of furniture.
On Monday, students were placed on a rotation system as there were not enough chairs to accommodate approximately 700 of them. Forms One and Two students were told to attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while Forms Three to Five will attend classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Stewart said this would be a short-term measure, as furniture was ordered for this academic year but not delivered on time.
