Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand yesterday told residents of the island of Wakenaam that the deteriorating Arthur-ville Primary School building will be demolished and a new one built.
A release from the Ministry of Education said that Manickchand visited the Essequibo River island to speak to parents and address their concerns about the state of the building.
