Construction of the new Nismes Secondary School, a $1.3 billion state-of-the-art facility on the West Bank of Demerara is being sped up so that the building could be fully ready by the new school term in January.

However, with the majority of the project completed, Minister of Education Sonia Parag said that students could start moving into their new classrooms from as early as next week.

“But what we are doing is consulting the parents first,” Parag said following a site visit yesterday afternoon, according to a release from the ministry.

“Today, we thought that we would make a site visit because construction isn’t completed as yet, and we would really like the complex to be completed so students can move into the new buildings,” she said.
