The Opposition Junior Spokesperson on Education, Waynette Strachan, wants the Ministry of Education to provide a detailed plan for schools which will be unable to open when the new school year begins on September 2.
Miss Strachan was speaking at a PNP media briefing on Wednesday.
Education Minister Fayval Williams, says it will cost more than $3 billion to fund repairs to the 362 schools that were damaged by Hurricane Beryl.
The ministry has categorised affected schools into three priority groups; severely damaged, moderately damaged and those that sustained minor damage.
Minister Williams indicates that she does not anticipate much delay in the reopening of schools on September 2 because of ongoing work.
But the PNP believes there are several schools which will not be ready within that timeline.
