The Ministry of Education and Youth has reassigned 250 GSAT students who were to be placed in a school that was to be located in Dunbeholden, St. Catherine, to other schools in Portmore.

According to the ministry, the plan for the school has been put on hold based on advice from the National Environment and Planning Agency.

But this has not gone down well with Opposition Spokesman on Education, Andrew Holness, who accused the ministry of "poor forward planning".

"They should have known where they were going to put this school and do a proper analysis," Mr. Holness told The Gleaner.

"This is going to create another chaos come September," he added.

Hopeton Henry, president of the Jamaica Teachers' Association, echoed similar sentiments.

"This is really negligence. The building section of the Ministry of Education and Youth should have ensured that the necessary permission was received," said Mr. Henry.

Most schools did not get their results on time last year, as the ministry was having problems finding space for some 3,800 students in Region Six, which includes the parishes of St. Catherine and Clarendon.

Meanwhile, all students should by this morning receive their GSAT results. The results were sent to schools in record time this year.

The Education Ministry said all students islandwide were placed according to the national placement system.
