WHEN he thought that his days of doing homework was over, former school principal Dr Michael Dowlath said on his first day on the job as Minister of Education, he has been tasked with a heavy assignment.

As a former principal he was tasked with grading students, but in an interview with the Newsday on May 5, Dowlath said he, along with Tertiary Education and Skills Training Minister Prof Prakash Persad and Parliamentary Secretary in the ministry Hansen Narinesingh, a former schoolteacher and attorney, were given voluminous briefs to study.
