GRADE TWO STUDENTS LEARN UNDER BAMBOO STRUCTURE AT HOLLAND PRIMARY
Images circulating online have raised serious concerns after Grade Two students at Holland Primary School were reportedly photographed attending classes outdoors beneath a makeshift bamboo structure.
The children can be seen sitting on chairs with their schoolbags around them while a teacher conducts the lesson. The post suggests that rainfall could prevent classes from continuing, highlighting just how vulnerable these students are to changing weather conditions.
This is Jamaica in 2026, and no child should be expected to learn under these circumstances. Our children deserve proper classrooms where they are protected from the rain, excessive heat and other outdoor hazards. The relevant authorities must urgently address the conditions at Holland Primary and ensure that these students are provided with a safe and suitable learning environment.
