A section of the concrete roof at the new Dominica Grammar School auditorium collapsed on Monday during construction, but no injuries were reported.

Education Minister Octavia Alfred confirmed the site is safely cordoned off from the rest of the school, allowing classes to continue uninterrupted.

“No one was injured, and there is no risk to students or staff,” Alfred said, noting that access to the construction zone is strictly restricted.

The Ministry of Education has launched a review in collaboration with the contractor and pledged to closely monitor the project.

“Our top priority remains the safety of students, staff, and the entire school community,” the minister added.
