Three schools closed early on Tuesday, following complaints from students and teachers about “itchy skin” as cow-itch vines near educational institutions continue to be a nuisance.Around 10 a.m., parents at Mount Tabor Primary School in St John, and All Saints’ Primary School and All Saints’ Nursery School in St Peter received messages that they should immediately collect their children due to the environmental problem.First Vice President of the Barbados Union of Teachers (BUT) Julian Pierre who visited All Saints’ Primary and Nursery informed Barbados TODAY that in addition to children at those two institutions complaining of itching, teachers decided that they would not remain at the compound due to the discomfort.“They decided that for themselves, the children and the ancillary staff. So the decision was made then for both schools to be closed, for persons to leave the compounds, and there was a similar situation at Mount Tabor,” he said.
