$62 MILLION FOR ISLINGTON EARLY CHILDHOOD INSTITUTION

Cabinet has approved the sum of $62.06 M to complete the construction of the Islington Early Childhood Institution in St. Mary. Construction is to be undertaken by the contractor, Howard Construction Company Limited. When completed, the school will be a standard for modern schools and will occupy 6,000 square feet of space.

The condition of the existing one-room structure which houses four classrooms is sub-standard and is uneconomical to repair. The bathroom facilities are also in a deplorable condition and unsuitable for a school. The Ministry of Education and the Early Childhood Commission have approved the design of the new school.
