CABINET has approved the reconstruction of the L’Aventure Secondary School located at L’Heureuse Adventure, Canal Number One, West Bank Demerara, which was destroyed in an arson fire a few months ago. 

Head of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon made the announcement last Wednesday, at his weekly post-Cabinet media briefing at Office of the President, Shiv Chanderpaul Drive, Georgetown.
More than $25M has been approved for rebuilding of classrooms and the administrative section of the school, he informed.
The blaze had displaced about 700 students but its annexe, which accommodates the Grade Seven children, numbering 134, was not affected.
The flames had started in the Administrative Block that accommodated several classes.
Meanwhile, less than six months ago, another fire, of unknown origin, broke out in the midst of the National Grade Six Assessment examination at the Parfaite Harmonie Primary School, also on West Bank Demerara.
About 80 pupils were taking the test when one of them saw smoke and alerted the invigilators who, immediately, sent them out of the building.
Those candidates were, subsequently, able to complete their examinations.
