The Ministry of Education (MoE) has advised that the Beterverwagting (BV) Quamina Primary School was temporarily closed on Thursday and will remain closed on Friday to facilitate additional cleaning, ongoing rehabilitative works and the implementation of a permanent solution to the pigeon infestation.
The notice follows reports of an ongoing pigeon infestation at the school.
Last week, Minister of Education Sonia Parag said the issue was expected to be resolved over the weekend, while deputy chief education officers and education officers investigated the situation
According to reports, Minister Parag had revealed that the problem was an intermittent one. Four students who were alleged to have fallen ill from the infestation were examined, but their illnesses were found not to be related to the infestation issue.
The MoE in its missive assured parents and students that measures would be implemented to recover instructional time lost.
