This, as the school is not ready to welcome back learners.

Departmental spokesperson, Elias Malindi, says the department and its stakeholders have, together with parents, agreed and arranged that nearby secondary schools will accommodate learners from Tirelong whilst a permanent solution is being looked at to fix the problem.

Malindi told OFM News that Tirelong learners will continue using their uniforms, and parents will not pay for transportation.

Tirelong Secondary has been vandalised several times, and as a result the school doesn't have running water or electricity.
