Lack of water forced closure of Canouan Government School
The population of the Canouan Government School was forced to forego schooling yesterday, Thursday, February 6, 2025 because of a lack of water. President of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Teacher’s Union (SVGTU), Oswald Robinson said he had given the order to the national executive and staff that the Canouan Government School (CGS) should be closed until the Ministry of Education and the Government get serious about the health of teachers and students at the institution.

In a video, Robinson hinted that similar instances had occurred in the past.
“How could you expect a school to operate without drinking water, without proper water-storage facilities? This is totally unacceptable.” The facility received a supply of water later in the day.
