Minister of Education Dr. Michael Dowlath has clarified that the Morvant New Government Primary School is not closed, with staff present daily, contradicting claims by the Opposition that the school has been closed for a week and a half.
“The Morvant New Government Primary School remains open with teachers and ancillary staff present every day. The Principal reported to the AFPPD Division on Monday of this week, the 27th of October 2025, that there were issues with the plumbing system and water pump. Approval was given to the MTS for repairs on Monday, 27th October 2025. Works are expected to be completed over this weekend for full operation on Monday, the 3rd of November 2025.”
