To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly Chief Sec­re­tary and Sec­re­tary for Ed­u­ca­tion Kelvin Charles says all schools in To­ba­go re­opened yes­ter­day.

How­ev­er, T&T Uni­fied Teach­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion (TUT­TA) rep­re­sen­ta­tive for the To­ba­go Or­lan­do Kerr said the union is not sat­is­fied with con­di­tions at some schools and will stand firm un­til work­ing con­di­tions for teach­ers and stu­dents are im­proved.

“At the Sig­nal Hill Sec­ondary School, we are still await­ing the re­pairs at the lab and a Math­e­mat­ics teacher. At Spey­side An­gli­can Pri­ma­ry School we have the is­sue with the sew­er­age sys­tem, which needs to be re­paired. When will these is­sues be re­solved?” Kerr asked.

TTUTA rep­re­sen­ta­tive said he has sched­uled meet­ings with teach­ers at var­i­ous schools through­out the week to hear their con­cerns and will “re­main res­olute in en­sur­ing that teach­ers are giv­en the best to per­form their du­ties.”

On is­sues at the Scar­bor­ough RC School, Kerr said while work was done dur­ing the va­ca­tion pe­ri­od to deal with a flood­ing prob­lem, it was “done in haste and there are sev­er­al oth­er is­sues ex­ist­ing at the school.”

The school, which was built at a cost of $85 mil­lion, was com­mis­sioned last Au­gust.

In Sep­tem­ber, con­cerns were raised about flood­ing on the com­pound, slip­pery tiles and the ab­sence of awning to pre­vent rain from blow­ing in­to parts of the build­ing.

Charles said: “Some work was start­ed at the Scar­bor­ough RC School, it is not com­plete, but it should not im­pact the re­open­ing of the school.”

The school’s act­ing prin­ci­pal Pa­tri­cia Wafe said the awning work is on­go­ing.

“We had an is­sue with wa­ter com­ing in at the front that was re­solved,” she said.
