As T&T pre­pares to wel­come In­dia’s Prime Min­is­ter Naren­dra Mo­di to­day, par­ents, teach­ers and ed­u­ca­tion stake­hold­ers are not pleased with the Gov­ern­ment’s de­ci­sion to dis­rupt schools.

Pres­i­dent of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Uni­fied Teach­ers As­so­ci­a­tion (TTUTA) Mar­tin Lum Kin ques­tioned whether the Gov­ern­ment con­sid­ered the fact that schools are cur­rent­ly in ex­am­i­na­tion mode at this time be­fore de­cid­ing to dis­miss class­es at 11.30 am to­day.

Ac­cord­ing to the Ed­u­ca­tion Min­istry, the ear­ly dis­missal will min­imise traf­fic con­ges­tion along the Churchill Roo­sevelt, Uri­ah But­ler and the Sir Solomon Ho­choy high­ways as well as oth­er ma­jor road­ways.
