"We will allow the school to operate once they find a proper place to open the school and get it registered," he said.

He added that the Ministry continues to undertake inspections across the country to bring sanity to the education sector.

Meanwhile, a concerned form Four student Triza Sekani has told us closure of the school has left many of them helpless at a time they are preparing for national examinations.
