A remedial education pilot project targeting pupils of three primary schools in the Buxton/Friendship area was launched on Monday with the aim of improving literacy and numeracy.

Part of First Lady Sandra Granger’s Buxton Youth Initiative, the Buxton/Friendship Remedial Education Project will be done in collaboration with members of the community and is expected to yield better results at the National Grade Six Assessment.

The children expected to benefit are in grades one to five students at the Buxton Primary,
