The University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) continues to strengthen its role as a catalyst for national and regional development through the recent signing of two strategic Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at advancing inclusion and diversity in education and pioneering marine research in the Caribbean.

The agreements, signed with the Trinidad and Tobago Association for the Hearing Impaired (TTAHI) and the Caribbean Cetacean Society (CCS), reinforce UTT’s commitment to creating meaningful partnerships that address critical societal and environmental challenges through innovation, research, education and collaboration.

Through its partnership with TTAHI, UTT will work to strengthen access to education and support services for learners with hearing disabilities across Trinidad and Tobago.  The collaboration will focus on enhancing professional training and educational opportunities for individuals working with students who experience hearing loss, expanding sign language interpretation services and exploring the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence to improve accessibility in teaching and learning environments.
