Minister of Education Dr Michael Dowlath says chief among his priorities in office would be to introduce a more “child-centred” learning experience in the public school system while making full use of technological tools to enhance training.
Dr Dowlath worked for 15 years as principal of Naparima College before his retirement in 2021. Speaking with Guardian Media after being sworn in at a ceremony at the President’s House yesterday, Dowlath said he was confident that his decades of experience as a teacher and school administrator would be invaluable to his current role.
Referring to the mandate given by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to all ministers to take a “boots on the ground” approach to their jobs, Dowlath said he was eager to meet with all members of the ministry to look at what current systems and programmes are in place.
