Schools were reopened yesterday,Johnny Cueto Giants Jersey, and Education Minister Shaik Baksh had assured parents and teachers that,Keith Hernandez Mets Jersey, despite the heavy showers of rain over the past few days, schools would not have been inundated.As such, students of St Rose’s High School,Denny Mclain Orioles Jersey, St Agnes Primary and Nursery,David Price Red Sox Jersey, and those of South Road Nursery turned up for school yesterday morning.Imagine their astonishment when they found out that the entire compound of these respective schools was under water. The children were subsequently advised to return home until further notice. When Kaieteur News visited St Rose’s High School,Jimmie Foxx Red Sox Jersey, teachers were reluctant to discuss the issue, and advised that this newspaper speak with officials at the Ministry of Education. However,Chris Young Mets Jersey, a teacher who wished to remain anonymous said that the problem is an ‘age old one.’ She said that every time it rains the school becomes flooded.She also opined that if the drainage system around the school receives attention,J.J. Hardy Orioles Jersey, the situation can be reasonably rectified. In the meantime,Alejandro De Aza Mets Jersey, the teachers are valiantly trying to accommodate the students in the fifth and sixth forms,Gaylord Perry Giants Jersey, since they are preparing for examinations.Efforts by this newspaper to contact Minister Baksh on the issue proved futile. |
