Minister of Education, Anthony Garcia, speaking at the media conference at the Ministry of National Security, gave an update on the situation as it relates to the re-opening of schools on Monday. He said of the 700 schools operated by the Ministry of Education, 51 were directly affected by flooding and remained closed. Asked about the turnout of teachers and students at other schools across the country, Minister Garcia said the most affected schools were in the St. George East and Caroni districts. The Education Minister said after consulting ministry officials, he saw there was no need to declare all schools closed, as the damage done to schools on a national scale was "minimal."
