School at Qahal Yahweh Church compound not registered with Ministry of Education
It has been revealed that The Total Learning Centre at the Qahal Yahweh Church compound in Norwood St James is not registered with the Ministry of Education’s Independent Schools Unit (ISU).
The education ministry revealed on Tuesday that the Qahal Yahweh Church sent an incomplete application for approval under the Independent Schools Regulations.
It said the application was returned to the proprietor, Omar Thompson, as is the protocol for incomplete applications.
It has been reported that Omar Thompson told the St James Family Court on October 30 that the Ministry of Education was aware of the school. He reportedly said he was awaiting documentation from the ministry with regards to the registration of the school.
Some of the practices of the religious sect have come under closer public scrutiny in recent weeks, following two raids by the police on its compound and the removal of several minors.
