SCHOOL BUS FLEET STRENGTHENED AHEAD OF NEW ACADEMIC YEAR
Basseterre, St. Kitts, Thursday, August 13, 2026: When students return to school on Sept. 07,
they will do so with a much improved fleet of school buses, as the Ministry of Education
continues its efforts to enhance transportation services for students across St. Kitts.
A major development ahead of the new school year is the return of the Ministry’s largest school
bus, which was out of service for much of the last academic year.
