TTUTA President Martin Lum Kin is lamenting the loss of teaching and learning time, as several schools remain closed despite the start of the new academic year this week.

On Monday, Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said six schools did not reopen due to ongoing repairs.

Mr Lum Kin told 103.1FM News that only one has since been partially opened.

103.1FM News reached out to the Education Ministry on the matter and is awaiting a response.
