Class­es for stu­dents of the Low­er Mor­vant Pri­ma­ry School will re­sume to­day fol­low­ing a meet­ing be­tween the Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter and Chair­man of the Board of the Church on the Rock.

A state­ment from the Min­istry of Ed­u­ca­tion said the church will be made avail­able to staff and stu­dents for the re­sump­tion of class­es for this aca­d­e­m­ic term.

The meet­ing was called to ad­dress con­cerns for out­stand­ing pay­ments for the use of the fa­cil­i­ty as a tem­po­rary home for the school body.

An agree­ment was reached be­tween the Min­istry and the Chair­man and class­es will re­sume to­day, the state­ment said.

Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter An­tho­ny Gar­cia stat­ed that the Min­istry was mov­ing swift­ly to have all chal­lenges re­solved for stu­dents to have un­in­ter­rupt­ed teach­ing and learn­ing mov­ing for­ward.

Pupils of the Low­er Mor­vant Gov­ern­ment Pri­ma­ry School have been un­able to re­turn to school be­cause the rent and elec­tric­i­ty bill in­curred has not been paid to the church that tem­po­rary hous­es them.

"We need our school at Low­er Mor­vant, it's 250 chil­dren you are talk­ing about who have no school to at­tend be­cause they are neg­li­gent in pay­ing their bills. Last term two times the keys had to be hand­ed in by the prin­ci­pal and it was on­ly on the good graces of the church I think they were con­sid­er­ing the chil­dren who were prepar­ing for SEA that they al­lowed the chil­dren back in­to the school," said Pres­i­dent of school's Par­ent Teacher As­so­ci­a­tion Karen Wal­ters in an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia on Thurs­day.

"Now we are at this point at the start of the new term, SEA has gone so that good grace has gone."

Guardian Me­dia was told that on Wednes­day, par­ents and the chil­dren went to the school on­ly to found the com­pound locked off to them.

The school has been housed at the Church on the Rock Pen­te­costal Church sit­u­at­ed at the cor­ner of 2nd Cale­do­nia and La­dy Young Road, Mor­vant since Jan­u­ary 2014 af­ter the school's orig­i­nal com­pound was de­mol­ished amid plans for it to be re­con­struct­ed. Work on the orig­i­nal site has since stalled.

"The school was de­mol­ished with the promise that with­in a year we would have a new school. Since then noth­ing has been done pos­i­tive­ly to build the school," said Wal­ters.

Par­ents of pupils called on the Min­istry to not on­ly pay the monies to al­low class­es to re­sume but to make some head­way con­cern­ing the school's orig­i­nal com­pound so that the stu­dents can re­turn to a bet­ter learn­ing en­vi­ron­ment.

"The space that they oc­cu­py is ex­treme­ly small. It is like an au­di­to­ri­um that is par­ti­tioned off. And you can hear one teacher to the end of the oc­cu­pied space," she said.
