EDUCATION Minister Dr Michael Dowlath has rubbished the PNM’s administration's vacation remedial programme, saying it was “riddled with outstanding bills” and had no proper monitoring and system to measure results.

Contributing to the budget debate in the House of Representatives on October 17, Dowlath dismissed as “false” claims by former education minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, in an earlier contribution, that the government had stopped the programme.

He said, “What they left behind was not a coherent programme at all. It was an over-priced, poorly managed patchwork called Re-Re-engaging For Success.”
