CABINET NOTES: The Honourable Minister for Education, Daryll Matthew, informed Cabinet that the Government’s decision to merge Glanvilles Secondary School and Pares Secondary School has been met with strong support from the affected communities.

As part of the Ministry’s commitment to transparency and public engagement, a series of public education initiatives are underway to keep stakeholders informed and involved in the transition.

These efforts include a Town Hall Meeting scheduled for next Monday at the Pares Secondary School, where Ministry technicians will share detailed information on the merger process.

One of the major developments is the planned conversion of Glanvilles Secondary School into a specialized School of Agriculture, a move that aligns with national goals for skills development, food security, and agricultural innovation.

Minister Matthew also reported that preparatory work for the September 2025 merger is progressing.

Assessment teams have been actively reviewing the infrastructure at both school sites to identify necessary upgrades and initiate improvements where needed, ensuring that the merged institution is ready to welcome students in a safe and conducive learning environment.

Last week, Cabinet officially announced the school merger, highlighting that the initiative is part of the Government’s broader strategy to create a sustainable, efficient, and high-quality educational system.

The goal is to enhance learning outcomes, promote resource optimization, and foster equity—ensuring that all students have the tools and environment they need to succeed both academically and socially.

  2. This is a complete lie. The parents nor teachers were informed, so how is it that the community is for this?
    Stop lying.. You people knew the Parents, teachers and the community would be against this action hence why it was done in this way.
    Have you thought of the transition of students and teachers on both sides?
    What happen to Bethesda school that you all closed down for the same purpose?
    The time you took take action, repairing the little damage, further deteriated the school, the agricultural center would be up and running.
    LEAVE GLANVILLES ALONE
