Impending water prohibition order to prevent learning loss among nation’s students

August 15, 2026

Water Minister Matthew Samuda has reiterated that the impending water prohibition order is intended to help prevent a shortage of the commodity in critical areas, such as schools.

Noting the learning loss already experienced by students in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Samuda says all efforts must be made to prevent any recurrence.

He said preventive measures must be put in place to ensure that water unavailability does not hinder students’ education.
