PARENTS and guardians of the thousands of children left displaced after Hurricane Dorian unleashed its fury on Abaco and Grand Bahama more than two weeks ago say they are frustrated with the process set up to enroll the students in new schools. The Ministry of Education set up a public school registration process to place the children in new schools throughout New Providence as soon as possible.

But, for many parents and guardians, the task has been anything but an easy one. When The Tribune visited the registration site at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium yesterday, many complained that storm victims staying in emergency shelters were given priority treatment. Others said the exercise was disorganised.

Crystal Tinker, a mother of a six-year-old, said: "I was given an appointment to come down here for eleven o'clock and when I get down here, I was given a number and I was told that the persons that were here from six o'clock get first priority. These are people I assume from the shelters . . .they're getting first priority and I don't have a problem with them, but it's like Bahamians first."
