At a time when parents are struggling to buy books for their kids, imagine my shock when I learned of scores of books that were dumped by a ministry of education official in the school yard of Windward Rd Primary School.

I could not careless about they not having space to store these books, anywhere but the school yard. The ministry official involved should be fired for an gross act of stupidity and insensitivity.

That is my view

UPDATE  10/26

The ministry has recovered the dumped books.
