A staff member at the Gordon and Walcott Memorial Methodist Primary School has assured the STAR that come Monday teachers will be back to school, following their walk-out on Tuesday this week, now that the education ministry has promised their complaints will be addressed.
“I went down to the school on Wednesday,” said our source. “There was some heavy equipment about, people were cleaning up, and the vents from the lab’s air condition units had been removed.”
Per reports on Tuesday, the teachers’ walk-out was in consequence of the presence of mould. Another source close to the situation said: “We asked our principal, having come to school on Tuesday, to call the ministry to ascertain whether what was said about the mould was correct. We waited around 90 minutes. Nobody called us, no one told us anything. So we called our union and informed them of the situation and they advised us accordingly.” At time of writing no one at the Department of Education was available for comment.
