The TT Unified Teachers’ Association (TTUTA) said the problems affecting the Moruga Secondary School include feuding gangs, overworked educators, and a lack of security, among others. He called on the Education Ministry to provide the school with the resources to deal with these issues.

TTUTA president Martin Lum Kin said the union visited the school on April 9 and received a variety of reports from teachers.

He said teachers were not trained to deal with the students, many of whom Lum Kin claimed performed poorly in the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) examinations.
