Despite a water shortage limiting face-to-face classes to just three days last week at Oracabessa High School in St Mary, principal Natrecia Lothian has labelled the first week a success.
A problematic pump at the National Water Commission facility that serves Oracabessa left the community without water for over a week, pushing the start of face-to-face classes back to Wednesday.
Oracabessa High is one of 125 schools that have been allowed to resume face-to-face classes following a two-week pilot programme by the Ministry of Education in November.
Classes at the school are geared only at grade-11 students, with those having to complete SBAs and do practical subjects being the main beneficiaries.
