Social Share The resumption of face-to-face classes at schools in Barbados will now commence on April 26. In an address to the country moments ago, Minister of Education, Santia Bradshaw revealed the classes would now start on April 26, as a massive clean-up of about 105 schools across Barbados would first have to be completed before students could return. Classes were due to restart on Monday, but Bradshaw said that was impossible due to the heavy levels of ash that fell on all buildings in Barbados between last Saturday and yesterday, as a result of the continued explosions of the La Soufriere volcano in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
