When the new school term commenced yesterday, Manchester Secondary School teachers were left with no choice but to house students in laboratories after a Berbice contractor was unable to complete the necessary rehabilitation works over the holiday period.
Region Six Chairman David Armogan yesterday visited several schools in the district where works were expected to be completed. However, while most projects were finished, a few had minor painting left to be done, while the Manchester Secondary School was the only project that was far from completion.
Armogan expressed his disappointment at the contractor and also the regional engineers, whom he said had been telling him that the work was close to completion. “Most of the schools I visited, we are satisfied with the work that was done except the Manchester Secondary School,” Armogan said.
