Today (Thursday), students sitting CSEC and CAPE exams are being assured that every effort is being made to get them safely to their examination centres, despite severe flooding across several parts of Trinidad.
Secondary schools will not be used as emergency shelters, the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government confirmed, to ensure exams can continue without interruption.
“We are working closely with the Ministry of Education to ensure every child has the opportunity to write their exams, regardless of weather conditions,” said Minister Khadijah Ameen. “Parents with concerns should reach out to their respective DMU (Disaster Management Unit) to request support. Whether by truck or boat, we will get your children to their exams.”
