Classes disrupted at QC after flea infestation
Classes were disturbed at Queen’s College, Camp Road yesterday due to a flea infestation. Around 09:15hrs, students of the institution complained of being bitten by what they assumed to be fleas.
Students and teachers take shelter in the shade as they await action from the Ministry of Education.
As hundreds filled the lawns of the school compound, pretentious teachers who obviously knew of the situation were reluctant to speak, since they were “ordered by the Head Mistress” not to speak to the media. This was also passed onto students. Some students decided to leave for home after they reported to their parents what transpired, and school was eventually dismissed for the day.
Some students said that the presence of a number of dogs in the school compound more than likely contributed to the infestation.
Information further indicated that hours after the infestation was reported to the Ministry of Education, pest control experts were sent to fumigate the institution.
It was also noted that over the weekend the issue was raised about the infestation, but nothing was reported to the Ministry.
