Garcia: All schools opened, despite several issues

The Education Minister believes there was an attempt by persons to disrupt several schools from reopening today.

But Mr Anthony Garcia says all primary and secondary schools were reopened despite a few issues.

Chief Education Officer Harrilal Seecharan says one such issue stems from a bomb scare at ASJA Boys College in San Fernando.
