The two new buses that were donated to the Lacovia High School in St. Elizabeth are expected to improve transportation for students over time. The Education Minister says this endowment by Japan’s government is a testament to the country’s commitment to aid in Jamaica’s development.
Speaking at the official handing-over ceremony, Minister of Education Fayval Williams says the donation was presented under the government of Japan’s Grassroots Human Security Project- a continuation of the excellent support to Jamaica’s education system, that the government of Japan has extended to Jamaica, under the project that started in April 2015.
The Minister notes investments such as these serve the long-term benefit of the school and the entire country. Especially since rural parishes have been struggling with accessing proper transportation.
Meanwhile, Minister Williams says the government is focused on eliminating the shift school system from schools across the island, noting its disadvantages.
