The Antigua and Barbuda Cabinet is considering extending school hours to reduce student loitering in St John’s by introducing sports, agricultural programs, and after-school classes.

Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff Lionel Hurst noted that discussions with parents and the teachers’ union will assess the proposal’s feasibility, as some government ministers believe it could enhance academic success.

Hurst emphasized the benefits of sports for student health, adding that while there’s consensus to proceed, input from multiple stakeholders remains essential.
