Registration for the Island’s public school system has been announced for February 10, 11 and 12 — thus extending the deadline for another week.

The announcement came this afternoon in the wake of widespread parental concern over possible school closures.

A report by the School Reorganisation (Score) Committee has yet to be released to the public, causing anxiety for some parents as the original deadline of February 3 drew near.

Wayne Scott, the Minister of Education, said he had reviewed the report and was now “taking the time needed to review with administration and stakeholders the findings, recommendations and supporting data”.

“In response to the report, I will make an announcement on the actions during the week of February 8, 2016.”

According to a Ministry of Education spokeswoman, registration procedures as well as a deadline for appeals against registration decisions will also be published in the official gazette in February 2016.

Pre-printed registration forms for children currently enrolled in the Bermuda Public School System will be provided directly to children being registered for primary and middle school.

Registration forms for incoming students will be made available on the Department of Education’s website: www.moed.bm and at the Department of Education at 14 Waller’s Point Road, St. George’s DD 03.
