The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has said that a suggestion by the\nDirector of Education for students loitering after school to be a crime is not\ncompatible with the constitution.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Clare Browne made the suggestion as police started to crack down<\/g> on students lingering in St. John\u2019s, in their uniforms, long after school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

instead, the Cabinet has asked the Ministry of Education to examine a policy that can be successfully applied to deterring students from loitering in the commercial sector of St. John\u2019s, during after-class hours.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the Ministry of Education has been authorized to articulate a\npolicy which could be applied but will not be offensive.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That policy may take two weeks; therefore, the Minister will report to\nthe Cabinet later next month on such a policy.<\/p>\n
