Henry-WilsonMinister of Education and Youth, Maxine Henry-Wilson, has said that 11 schools will be removed from the shift system when the new school year starts in September.
She was making her contribution to the 2007/08 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives last week.
The schools that will be removed are Melrose Primary and Junior High; Stony Hill Primary and Junior High; New Day Primary and Junior High; Enfield Primary and Junior High; Annotto Bay High; Glengoffe High; Buff Bay High; Dundee High; Cross Keys High; Brompton All-Age and Independence City Primary.
In addition, more than 100 schools that were classified as primary and junior high schools will be reclassified as primary schools, with the junior high sections removed.
The removal of schools from the shift system was a recommendation made by the Task Force Report on Education. But the education sector would need 187,190 spaces at the secondary level if this is to be achieved.
