Clarendon, Jamaica — Tensions are escalating at May Pen Infant School as parents demand the resignation of Board Chairman Stanley Ramsingh amid allegations of poor leadership. On Tuesday, frustrated parents padlocked the school gates, preventing students and teachers from entering the premises.
The protests stem from several critical issues, including the absence of a principal for months, lack of meals for students despite lunch fees being paid, and claims of inadequate maintenance of the school facilities. Parents voiced their grievances by holding placards that read “Canteen must open. We need a vice principal. Chairman must go now,” while chanting calls for Ramsingh’s resignation.
This unrest highlights the parents’ growing concern for their children’s welfare and the school’s operational status. As the situation unfolds, the community is left questioning how the leadership will address these pressing issues to ensure a safe and supportive environment for students.
