Ed­u­ca­tion Min­is­ter Dr Michael Dowlath has called on schools na­tion­wide to fol­low the ex­am­ple set by San Fer­nan­do TML Pri­ma­ry School, which he praised for main­tain­ing a record of ze­ro in­dis­ci­pline.

Speak­ing at the school’s grad­u­a­tion cer­e­mo­ny at Achie­vors Ban­quet Hall in Dun­can Vil­lage on Thurs­day, Dr Dowlath said the school’s cul­ture of dis­ci­pline and val­ues-based ed­u­ca­tion should be shared across all dis­tricts. “Your prin­ci­pal spoke in her re­port about there be­ing no in­dis­ci­pline. At a na­tion­al lev­el, we are fac­ing chal­lenges with stu­dent be­hav­iour. The lessons learned from TML Pri­ma­ry should be shared, not just in Vic­to­ria Ed­u­ca­tion Dis­trict, but in all of our schools in Trinidad and To­ba­go,” he said.
