Touring the incomplete Good Hope Secondary School on Tuesday,  Minister of Education Priya Manickchand said she wants contractors engaged in projects for the ministry to know that lengthy delays will not be tolerated.

According to a Ministry of Education release on Tuesday, the school which is currently under construction should have been completed since January 2020 following the contract award in 2018. The Ministry wants to have the school ready for the new school year which begins in September 2021.

 The construction contract was awarded to BK International Inc. Last November, the government terminated its $826.7m contract with BK for the Yarrowkabra Secondary School over delayed work.
