Minister of Education Dr Michael Dowlath believes the Ministry’s ongoing curriculum reforms could create new opportunities for innovation.

Speaking at the Future Forward Programme on Wednesday, he pointed to the Deep Wonders of Trinidad and Tobago and the Adjacent High Seas Expedition as examples of the kind of innovation and scientific exploration the education system is seeking to inspire.

“That is the first ever locally led deep-sea scientific exposition in our waters. And so there are over 16 scientists from our universities that are going out on this big ship around Trinidad and Tobago and they are using those remote vehicles that would go close to over 3,000 metres under water to see what lies on the sea bed.”
