ATTORNEYS for the father of a special-needs boy, 13, is threatening legal action against the State for failing to provide an aide so he could prepare for the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) exams in April.

Attorneys Gerald Ramdeen, Dayadai Harripaul and Emily Rampersad sent a pre-action letter to the Attorney General on March 14.

They say the Education Ministry’s denial of a special concession is unlawful. Ramdeen said they intend to seek interim relief to direct the ministry to provide an aide.
