Region One Chairman Brentnol Ashley has registered his concerns over the fact that some schools in the region would not be ready to accommodate students when the new school year begins on Monday.
Ashley yesterday told Stabroek News that several schools are currently still being rehabilitated and because the contracts for the rehabilitation works were awarded late, the contractors are not in a position to complete their work in time for the reopening of the schools on Monday.
Some of the schools that are likely to be affected are the Port Kaituma Primary and Secondary schools, North West Secondary, Santa Rosa Secondary, Hosororo Hill Primary and others.
