Makeshift classrooms are being erected at the Ocho Rios Primary School in St. Ann to ensure the institution maintains single-shift operation when classes resume next month for the new academic year.
The school officially transitioned from the shift system to a traditional all-day schedule in September 2024.
A recent fire impacted the school’s infrastructure.
Repair works are being carried out at the school.
Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Senator Marlon Morgan, visited the school yesterday to assess the progress of the works.
He noted that the school will be ready for September.
He added that a contractor will soon be tasked with replacing the facilities damaged by the fire in June.
