PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar, during her first official visit to Tobago, pledged renewed investment in education and opportunities for the island’s youth, affirming her government’s commitment to ensuring no child is left behind.

Speaking on November 4 at the Signal Hill Secondary School before an audience of primary, secondary, early childhood and special needs students, Persad-Bissessar also promised members of the Signal Hill Secondary Cultural Group support to perform in an African country next year.

“Having heard and seen you children here today, we’ll do it next year. Do you agree?” she said, adding that an earlier request from the school for aid was received too late.
