CLASSROOMS CRAMMED with up to 40 students will be a rare sight at secondary schools across Jamaica come June 8.
Visits to schools across the Corporate Area where preparations are under way to facilitate exam refreshers showed classrooms that would normally seat 35 students now reorganised to accommodate nine.

Classes at Kingston Technical High School will begin with orientation about the new practices and expectations of students and teachers.
“We are using a staggered system and we will begin with the classes with the smallest number of students,”said principal Maulton Campbell, adding that sessions will begin at 9 a.m.
Space is not an issue for the institution, as the school spans two locations connected by an overhead bridge.
