Harrison: Put young men to work on school repairs
Jamaica Teachers’ Association (JTA) President LaSonja Harrison says the Government should use the shortage of labourers hampering school repairs as an opportunity to employ young men, expose them to the education system and help them acquire skills. Harrison, speaking at a Rotary Club of Kingston luncheon on Thursday, said young men from communities could be recruited to assist with rehabilitation work at schools they once attended, while gaining practical experience that could lead to formal training and certification.
