PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar says her government is committed to empowering teachers by providing equipment, training and a positive environment to support teachers as they provide an invaluable service to the nation.
In her message commemorating World Teachers’ Day on October 5, she said the future of the nation rested on their wisdom, dedication and compassion, and will place teachers at the centre of education reform in TT.
“True reform depends not only on legislation but also on the daily courage of teachers who enter their classrooms with patience and hope. My government is therefore committed to empowering them by equipping every Form 1 class with laptops and digital tools; expanding book-grants and school-meal support; introducing AI-assisted early-childhood screening to reach every learner; investing in continuous upskilling and mentorship networks to strengthen teachers’ professional growth; and prioritising professional learning communities and safe, modernised schools that foster collaboration and innovation.”
