The brief

In a September 3 report, Jamaica Information Service describes the National Education Trust’s continuing work on schools affected by Hurricane Melissa. Its coverage identifies Strawberry Primary and Infant School in Westmoreland as restored. The update concerns specific rebuilding work; families should still confirm arrangements directly with their own schools.
