Teachers of Brickdam Secondary yesterday staged a sit-out in protest over conditions at their school.

The teachers told Stabroek News that they needed to once again highlight the problems that the Brickdam Secondary has been facing for years and about which they have made several complaints.

The school’s building is leaning, its classrooms are small and congested, and there are inadequate washroom facilities for teachers and students. “Since 1995 to now this school had these matters, and teachers who came and went and [some who] are still here have lodged complaints to the Ministry of Education,” one teacher said.
