August 5, 2016: Thirty-four (34) schools will benefit from the School Repair Programme, which is already underway.
The Division of Education, Youth Affairs and Sport earmarked twenty three (23) primary schools for repairs, along with seven secondary schools, two early childhood centres, Happy Haven, and the Tobago School for the Deaf, Speech and Language Impaired.
This year, the budget for the repairs is $15 million. The Division has enlisted consultants to provide management support for the programme, including tendering services, evaluation of contractors and supervision of repair and construction works.
These include electrical, plumbing, mechanical and building works, roofing and painting. The repairs should be completed by September 5, when school reopens.
