Dear Editor,
I had three kids who attended Mae’s and wrote CXC. When my last kid wrote CXC last year, he was asked to attend school for work study.
On his arrival at school, he was asked to leave the school compound because he had beard on his face; he breached the school rules.
After 14 years at Mae’s which was his final and he is not allowed to graduate. My son always did well at his test and CXC he came out with distinction. I had paid for the next school term, which I didn’t get back. We send our kids to school so they can learn.
The President said every child has a right to school but he must ask Mae’s School for a record of how many were put out of that school.
