school dropouts 2023 – trinidad education – then crime

cnc3, 2 April 2023.

Couldn’t hear the exact number, felt between 1 to 2000 students dropped out of government schooling. The assistant edu minister says « something to work on. »

Isn’t beneath my notice how the state spent less and de-emphasized education. On FB I called it a ‘war on education’ before deleting owing to my lets say position.

A broken record I must be – Finland has 3 teachers a class, one gives individual attention and a councilor available. A local retired teacher was impressed. And the drive to teach begins before a child enters school.

​

Next day, this one – followed up and a cnc article and the first that inspired questioning the minister.
