Dear Editor,
Two letters on schools have caught my attention; one has to do with Carmel Secondary School (September 3), while the other has to do with Leonora Secondary School (September 3).
In the first case, the writer drew attention to the new laboratory at Carmel Secondary School, which has some “defects” that could impact negatively on the students in particular. The writer alluded to safety features that are apparently absent in the laboratory, and drew reference to past infernos at the Christ Church Secondary School and the Dorm at Mahdia.
It was on numerous occasions following these disasters and others of a similar nature that schools built in the future would be outfitted and furnished with all safety features, equipment and accoutrements. So, what happened in this case?
The second letter lamented that the first day of the new school year had seen the Leonora Secondary School being without a working toilet for the students.
What must it take to get little but important things right?
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
