According to the General Secretary of the Antigua Trades & Labour Union (AT&LU), Hugh Joseph, the school’s infrastructure as far as students are concerned, seems ready, but he is unsure about the administrative staff.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

With a fast approaching 2019\/2020 academic year, trade union officials are unsatisfied with the condition of the administrative building at the Antigua State College (ASC).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conditions that the administrative staff are made to sit in [are] deplorable. We are concerned that the institution opens shortly and based on what we are seeing here today, while there have been accommodations made for students, there is a serious concern as it relates to accommodating the staff,\u201d Joseph said.<\/p>

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

Hugh revealed that a letter was sent, addressing the unsuitable conditions of the adminstrative building, to the Principal [of ASC] and copied to the Permanent Secretary [Ministry of Education, Science and Technology] since April. However, this letter did not received any acknowledgment.<\/p>

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

In light of the hurricane season, there were even concerns about the status of the building and Joseph shared his concerns as well as suggestions with representatives from the Ministry of Education and Public Works<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had made some suggestions as to temporary accommodations. Not even that was looked at. Even if you had put those in place and you take off the roof when a hurricane comes, all you would have happening is just the place getting wet. But now, you\u2019re talking about possibly taking off the roof and there is no place to accommodate staff,\u201d he explained.<\/p>

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

Also on the ASC walkthrough was the General Secretary of the Antigua and Barbuda Public Service Association (ABPSA), Janela Evanson, who voiced concerns for the safety of the staff and appeals to leadership to give a response to the matter and relocate staff to areas that are safe for them.<\/p>\n
