Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport Provides Update on Upcoming Works at Oranje School

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport (ECYS) in Sint Maarten announced upcoming works at Oranje School in Great Bay, including the demolition of an exterior wall section. ECYS clarified that the Department of Culture confirmed this specific wall is not part of the school's protected monument designation, which applies solely to the office building. The Ministry assured the public the demolished section would be reconstructed to restore its original appearance and maintain the school's historical character. These works, ECYS stated, are undertaken with due consideration for the compound's historical significance.
