The Regional Education Officer (REdO) has promised to address the issues at the Mocha Arcadia Nursery School, where teaching has resumed after parents forced its temporary closure due to the deplorable conditions.
On Monday, parents, guardians and residents staged a protest outside the school, which is located on New Settlers Street, Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara, to ask for a new school for the community. They had complained about the current facility’s unstable structure, deplorable washrooms, and flood prone yard that would be infested with mosquitoes and snakes. The parents had declared that they would not allow their children to attend the unsanitary school unless their complaints were addressed and they got adequate answers.
Stabroek News was told that REdO Jennifer Bourne visited the school on Tuesday and promised to address the issues that can be addressed.
