The Ministry of Education is undertaking an inspection of infant, primary and secondary schools.
The exercise, which is being done in partnership with the National Education Trust and the University of Technology, is being carried out under the Jamaica Safe Schools Project.
It aims to mainstream disaster risk management in the regulation, planning, designing, construction and management of school infrastructure.
Some 971 schools are scheduled to be inspected.
