Rats overrun South school

CONCERNED parents of pupils attending Robert Village Hindu School are calling on the Ministry of Education to rid the school of what they consider to be “rat infestation”. 
  
An angry parent, who requested anony-mity, told Newsday yesterday that she was fed-up with rats scurrying about the classrooms while her three children, and the other pupils are in the school. “Yuh always hearing and reading about rats and the diseases they carry. My children’s health is at risk,” she added. The woman ex-plained that the school had been having problems with the rodents for sometime now but the heavy rains caused the rats to jump out of their hiding places and swarm the classes. She said a rat even jumped in a child’s bag, adding that the children were in a uproar when they saw the rats running through their classrooms. “I want something done about this rat problem. It is not safe for our children,” she complained.
