Min­is­ter of Ed­u­ca­tion, Dr Michael Dowlath, says while many schools are “op­er­at­ing on life sup­port,” he has called for greater col­lab­o­ra­tion to deal with the chal­lenges sec­ondary schools are fac­ing to­day.

Dowlath was speak­ing at a vale­dic­to­ry func­tion for re­tired prin­ci­pals host­ed by the As­so­ci­a­tion of Prin­ci­pals of Pub­lic Sec­ondary Schools of Trinidad and To­ba­go (APPSS) at Pre­sen­ta­tion Col­lege, Ch­agua­nas, on Sat­ur­day.
