Enterprise Primary School needs urgent involvement of relevant authorities – PTA

Apr 18, 2013 News

The Parent Teacher Association, P.T.A of the Enterprise Primary School is requesting the intervention of the authorities at the Ministry of Education as they list the ongoing problems at the institution.
Heading the P.T.A is Neirpaul Purai.
Purai is of the view that the various issues facing the school have been ignored by the authorities over the years.
“We raised the issues with the Regional Education Officer but to date nothing has been done about the insanitary condition of washroom, the lack of furniture, the unsafe electrical wiring and the lack of electricity at the school that contributes to the stealing at nights.”
According to Purai, those at the District level seem unconcerned with general maintenance of the school.”
“I’ve had many meetings with officials at the Ministry of Education to address these problems but we have received no aid from them, Right now the toilets are in a terrible condition; the school needs repairs, there are windows missing and many times no furniture for teachers and students.”
The school accommodates approximately 874 students, at both primary and secondary level. However, Purai says that the Secondary School quarters is currently without electricity.
“It has been without electricity since its construction and we have appealing to the REO to get the problem sorted out.”
This issue coupled with the absence of security officers at night, Purai said, has contributed to the constant breakage of the school.
“We can only afford to pay one security guard that looks over the school during the day but in the night; there no security for the building. Recently two persons were robbed in broad daylight in the school yard and just a few nights ago, bandits broke into the building and stole a quantity of school supplies, this problem is unbearable.”
There is also a problem with the punctuality and attendance of the teachers, Purai said.
“In a school that has at least 34 teachers sometimes nine are missing at a time and we can’t go on like this because the children are suffering. When they are not late, they are absent.”
Teachers have been requesting and collecting money from parents without the notification and approval of the PTA. This, Purai said, shows blatant disrespect for the PTA as a legitimate organisation within the school system.
Purai says that as a concerned parent, he is calling for the urgent intervention of the Ministry of Education.
