(Jamaica Observer) Principals of high schools across the western region say all is in place to ensure a seamless start on Monday to the temporary reopening of schools to facilitate students sitting secondary level exit examinations in July.
Principal of Little London High in Westmoreland, Garfield James, stressed that his school, which will be sending some 180 students to sit the examinations, is ready.
“Little London High School is fully ready to accommodate the students owing to the fact that we are only focusing on a niche group which is grade 11 and some grade 10 students who are being prepared to sit the externals,” said James.
Acting principal of Rusea’s High in Lucea, Donna Anderson, said her school, which is preparing to accommodate about 310 students, is advanced in its preparations.
Eddie Whyte, principal of Troy High School in Trelawny, is upbeat about the resumption of school, and has given the Ministry of Education, Youth and Ynformation his full support, as they roll out the ‘new normal’.
