Mayaro MP backs PM on school discipline

Ma­yaro MP Nicholas Mor­ris has thrown his sup­port be­hind Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s stance on school in­dis­ci­pline, ar­gu­ing that par­ents and the home must play a cen­tral role in ad­dress­ing vi­o­lence and bad be­hav­iour among stu­dents.

In a state­ment, Mor­ris, who is al­so a Min­is­ter in the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter, said Per­sad-Bisses­sar was right to take a firm po­si­tion on in­dis­ci­pline as the Gov­ern­ment seeks to pro­tect the ed­u­ca­tion sys­tem.

“The Prime Min­is­ter is right! Schools must be the in­sti­tu­tions where we build the fu­ture of our na­tion by nur­tur­ing our great­est re­source, our hu­man cap­i­tal, through ed­u­ca­tion, dis­ci­pline, hard work and pro­duc­tiv­i­ty,” Mor­ris said.
