Temporary home for Cedar Grove Academy

Officials from the Ministry of Education were on Monday dispatched to Portmore, St. Catherine, to meet with disgruntled parents and guardians of students who have been assigned to the soon-to-be-opened Cedar Grove Academy. It was to assure them that alternative accommodation has been found to school their children.    

Addressing the group which gathered for an emergency meeting, Elaine Foster Allen, Permanent Secretary in the Education Ministry, disclosed that, based on a preliminary inspection at the proposed location, the building will not be ready in time for September. This did not go down well with the parents.

Mrs. Foster Allen sought to assure the parents and guardians that temporary space has been identified at the church hall of the New Testament Church of God in Gregory Park and an adjoining basic school.
