Education Minister Daryll Matthew has announced the start of construction on the new Five Islands Primary School, marking another phase in the government’s ongoing investment in education infrastructure and community development.
“Work commences on the new Five Islands Primary School,” Matthew wrote in a social-media post on Thursday, describing the project as “a continued investment in quality education and community development.”
The new facility is part of the broader Five Islands education complex, which also includes the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus. It will replace the existing school with a modern, climate-resilient building featuring expanded classroom space, early-childhood units, laboratories, and recreational areas.
The project had been highlighted earlier this year by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, who said construction would begin before the end of 2025 under a local contractor, with completion expected within two years.
