The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has informed all schools and school transport providers to make sure their vehicles are safe before schools reopen.
In a notice issued on August 15, the NTSA stated that every vehicle carrying school children must be in good mechanical condition.
The warning follows an inspection by the NTSA, during which random checks were carried out on school vehicles and numerous issues were identified.
According to the authority, some vehicles did not have speed limiters, while others had broken or expired ones.
