“Sections of the school building are presently unsuitable to host students, hence the reason for the alternative space for classes,” the Ministry of Education noted.

The decision to relocate students was made in the interest of safety and to avoid disruptions in their academic progress. Mobay Metro, a trusted transportation service in the Montego Bay area, was engaged to facilitate the return trips daily, allowing students to continue their education without added inconvenience.

The collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Mobay Metro highlights a swift response to a pressing need, ensuring that no student is left behind due to infrastructural issues. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops.
