Regular classes resumed at the Boca Secondary\u00a0 School on Monday after being halted last week, following an incident on an electrical pole, in\u00a0 close proximity to the school.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Education, in keeping with its mandate to provide a safer learning environment\u00a0 for students and teachers, determined that an independent electrical assessment was necessary.\u00a0 The assessment was conducted by Supreme Electrical Contractors, in collaboration with the\u00a0 electrical inspectors from the Ministry of Infrastructure Development.<\/p>\n
Providing an update on the situation, the Ministry of Education reassures the general public that\u00a0 the school has passed the inspection. The Ministry also advises that according to the Grenada\u00a0 Electricity Services Limited (GRENLEC), the explosion on the pole\u00a0in no way affected the school.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
However, the Ministry further disclosed that the assessment of the Boca Secondary School\u00a0 revealed a number of broken receptacles and exposed conductors, solely due to vandalism. These\u00a0 receptacles, which were installed within the last year, had to be replaced at a cost of about twenty\u00a0 thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Education is extremely concerned that this unforeseen expenditure, triggered by\u00a0 acts of vandalism, reduces the money available to conduct other maintenance work during the\u00a0 current year.<\/p>\n
The Ministry reiterates the need for internal constituents to exercise greater vigilance and\u00a0 promote better care of schools\u2019 infrastructure. The Ministry notes that it will have to adopt more\u00a0 stringent measures to deal with vandalism in schools.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Education extends sincere gratitude to all stakeholders for the patience\u00a0 demonstrated in this matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
