A High Court judge has granted an ex parte order to a special education teacher, allowing her to seek judicial review against the Teaching Service Commission (TSC) after being demoted despite her qualifications.
Pegus holds a Bachelor of Education in Special Needs from the University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) and began teaching as a Primary School Teacher I at Lady Hochoy School in September 2020.
In December 2020, she received her first pay check and was informed that she had been reassigned to assistant teacher I, a lower rank, despite having the same degree as peers who remained in their original posts.
