– ministry formulating rules
The Ministry of Education said there are no rules in place at present regarding a head teacher or a Parent Teacher’s Association (PTA) asking parents to provide furniture for their children.
This was the findings of an investigation into last September’s Richard Ishmael furniture issue, which was prompted by complaints from several upset parents.
Minister of Education Shaik Baksh said during a telephone interview that when it comes to asking for furniture, because there are no rules the PTA or by the headmistress through the PTA could ask parents to provide furniture.
