MP Tabaquite Anita Haynes believes that the Government has to be very careful with the integration of migrant children into the education system come September.
Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said over the weekend that arrangements are in place to welcome local and migrant children into public schools when classes resume in September.
The minister, who spoke to reporters at a Kids’ Health and Wellness Check-Up Clinic at the Mt Hope Women’s Hospital, said the Ministry of Education has been liaising with the Catholic Education Board of Management (CEBM) and the Ministry of National Security to ensure there will be a seamless process.
She said what is being contemplated is bringing some of the students that are ready for integration, in that catchment into the school population.
Speaking on the Power 102 Digital’s Power Breakfast Program this morning, Ms Haynes said that there has to be a clear plan on how this will be treated with.
She insisted that what exists now will not be sustainable in the long run.
