…but teachers must still report for duty – Manickchand

The Ministry of Education has announced that 42 schools in Georgetown and one on the East Coast of Demerara will remain closed today following flooding in several areas resulting from heavy rainfall yesterday.
According to the Ministry, the schools identified to remain closed are the most heavily affected.
The decision was made following reports from several teams dispatched yesterday by Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, to assess the effects of the rainfall on school buildings and the immediate environs.
The assessment exercise was led by Chief Education Officer (CEO), Olato Sam.
Sam has since advised that every other school will remain opened.
He is however advising all teachers, including those stationed at the 43 schools to report for duty on today.
The Ministry said that Manickchand’s decision to have the schools remain closed has taken into consideration, the latest weather report from the Hydrometeorological Office, which indicates that more rainfall is expected for another 12 hours.
The Ministry said that it is working around the clock to ensure that all affected schools are reopened by Friday.
