Jamaicans are being urged to denounce bomb threats, especially on the nation’s schools and to play their part in ensuring that schools remain safe zones.

The appeal by the Education Ministry and the Jamaica Fire Brigade follows a bomb threat at the Meadowbrook High School in St. Andrew yesterday.

The threat which was reported at about 10:30am, disrupted classes.

At 4pm, the all clear was given as no bomb was found.

Yesterday’s threat was the latest in recent days.

Last Thursday operations at three locations in the corporate area, including a high school were disrupted due to bomb threats.

No bomb was found in those incidents.

In a statement on Monday, the education ministry condemned the threats, noting that they put the safety and well-being of the nation’s students, educators and the wider community at risk.

It said these false bomb threats disrupt the flow of teaching and learning, causing undue delays and significant inconvenience to students and staff.

The ministry said it is imperative that citizens work together to ensure that schools remain safe spaces for educational and personal development, free from the fear of such malicious actions.

Commissioner of the Jamaica Fire Brigade, Stewart Beckford shared similar sentiments.

He said such threats disrupt the society.
