The Ministry of Education is reporting that it’s 95 per cent ready for the start of the 2014-2015 academic year, which gets underway next Monday, September 1.
Chief Education Officer, Dr. Grace McLean, says the level of readiness that schools are in, is due to a proactive approach which was taken to begin the process at the start of the previous school year.
She says the Ministry is on the verge of delivering the last set of high school books and furniture to schools.
Dr. McLean says the remaining 5 per cent of books will be delivered during the course of this week.
So too, the remaining furniture.
And the Chief Education Officer says the Ministry has already distributed maintenance grants and subventions to meet the costs associated with repair and other preparatory works which have been done.
Dr. McLean says all students have already been placed, and during this week, schools should complete their registration ahead of next week’s start of classes.
