Schools in the east remain closed for the time being as the communities of Castle Bruce to Petite Soufriere are still struggling from the effects of the damage caused by the rain over the past weekend.
The area experienced severe flooding and mudslides which resulted in the communities being cut off from the rest of the island, with no electricity.
Parliamentary representative for the Castle Bruce Constituency and Minister for Education Octavia Alfred says at present teachers are making efforts to reach their students despite having no electricity in the area.
