The government says it will build a brand new edifice to meet the growing requirement of The Second Chance Program.<\/p>

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

This program allows those who left school without earning CXC subjects to return to taking classes that are offered at no cost by the Government.<\/p>\n

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