Parents and teachers yesterday staged a peaceful protest outside the Santa Rosa Primary School, in the Moruca Sub-Region, of Region One, calling on authorities to urgently fix the deteriorating school building.
The protest triggered a response from officials from the Education Ministry and the region, resulting in a meeting between the two sides that led to an on-the-spot decision that the building would no longer be occupied until emergency remedial work is carried out.
A contractor and his team are expected to visit today to conduct a site visit and determine the works needed to be executed.
