The SVG Teachers Union in a post on their Facebook page says School facilities have a direct impact on student learning, student and staff health.
“Sick building syndrome” is a hard reality for many children and teachers. The SVGTU in their post says, they have been touring schools and found widespread evidence of poor maintenance and unsightly conditions.
These learning environments are rundown, and in disrepair, they discourage and sicken children and teachers, and fail to support a 21st-century education, according to the post.
The alarming fact is that many students across the country attend school in dilapidated and unhealthy facilities that pose substantial obstacles to learning and overall well-being.
Problems like these at St Clair Dacon Secondary School are common across many of the schools across the country, the post further stated.
Our teachers are sick of working in such appalling condition; the post went on to state. The Post also reported that the Kingstown Government School is the poster child for neglect and indifference to a quality teaching and learning environment for many of the nation’s children.
