Head teachers and principals of schools in the Western Division are to send their students home due to the heavy downpour that the western division is experiencing at the moment.
Ministry of Education permanent secretary Dr. Brij Lal has instructed heads of schools to arrange for students’ school buses and other means of transport used by students to safely take them home.
“Students must go straight home and not loiter in the market, Bus station or in towns,” Dr Lal said.
Parents are also advised to check for their children’s whereabouts if they do not reach home on time.
School Heads are to make sure that school properties are secured before they go home for the weekend.
Teachers, parents and students are encouraged to tune in to TV and radio stations for updates.
