HEAVY winds, last Friday afternoon, blew off a section of the roof on Annandale Primary School building, at East Coast Demerara, disrupting classes just after the lunch recess.

A teacher said reports were made to the Regional Education Office and officials of the Regional Administration of Region Four (Demerara/Mahaica) have already visited the institution and inspected the damage.

They took measurements and promised to acquire materials for the repair, he said.

Meanwhile, the pupils who were displaced, were temporarily shifted to the lower flat of the edifice.

Regional Education Officer Sandra Smith said contact was made with the Regional Works Department, for the situation to be dealt with urgently because the children could be exposed to further hazards.

She said she went to the school yesterday afternoon and advised the administration to send home the children directly affected as work on the repairs were expected to start immediately.
