Education Minister Dr. Dana Morris Dixon says the Government has enlisted the assistance of some of its multilateral partners to examine the building standards of schools.

She made the disclosure after being questioned at Jamaica house yesterday about the need for more resilient schools following the passage of Hurricane Melissa.

On November 6, Dr. Morris Dixon reported that over 600 schools sustained damage.

In an update yesterday, she highlighted the importance of building educational institutions that can withstand the frequent and more intense weather conditions affecting the country.

She lamented that some of the schools which were repaired after Hurricane Beryl ravaged the island last year, have again been damaged by Hurricane Melissa.

This pattern of destruction, she said, cannot be allowed to continue.

Dr. Morris Dixon also noted that schools which have taken the initiative to construct additional structures will need to comply with building standards.
