Minister of Education, Ronald Thwaites, says he will be visiting the controversy plagued Hopewell High School later this week.
Minister Thwaites says he will be looking to address several issues including the speeding up of a probe into allegations of corruption that led to the suspension of its Principal, Joyce Irving, last January.
Minister Thwaites’ visit comes months after the Ministry of Education said in April that its personnel committee would meet with Irving to determine the way forward.
So far that meeting has not been held.
Stakeholders at the institution have also raised concerns that the new school year could begin without the matters relating to the suspension of the principal being resolved.
They’ve indicated that they wish to have a principal appointed to the institution before September.
