Electrical issues at Tucville schools resolved

The Ministry of Public Works yesterday issued a Certificate of Inspection approving the electrical works which have been done at Tucville Primary and Secondary Schools over the last few weeks.

Recently, parents of pupils attending the schools which share the same compound raised concerns that there were several electrical issues at the schools which made them unsafe to occupy, a release yesterday from the Ministry of Education said. Upon investigation by the Ministry of Education, it was learnt that these issues existed since 2017 but were never addressed.

Yesterday, during an impromptu meeting with the parents and some students at the Ministry of Education’s 26 Brickdam office, the Chief Education Officer, Dr. Marcel Hutson provided parents with a comprehensive update on all the issues that were highlighted to be addressed and remedied at the schools. The majority of the issues are electrical.
