Teachers at Graham’s Hall Primary School are calling for immediate action from the Ministry of Education to deal with a persistent water shortage, deteriorating infrastructure and inadequate emergency preparedness.
A source told Stabroek News on Tuesday, that the lack of proper water supply has been a prevailing issue at the school for months, causing widespread concern among educators, parents, and students. The inadequate water supply hinders the school’s ability to provide essential amenities, impacting both teaching and learning.
Teachers are said to be at their wits’ end with the state of the washrooms that students and teachers are expected to use. It was noted that due to the lack of water, teachers are forced to fill buckets of water every time they have to use the washroom. This also puts strain on the school cleaners.
