No wonder our youths gone astray and so lawless, if their very own teachers don't obey the law and abide by regulations...why dem cya do it too?

People quick to throw blame at the ministry and minister, refusing to accept the fact that "teachers" are also a major part of the problem. It should be illegal for any appointed teacher to provide any "extra lessons" after school hours or on weekends. That right there is a conflict of interest and questions their integrity in public life.

But brb...unions to their rescue

I had lessons from STD 4 straight into STD 5. My lunch time was cut in half because we had to come in early for lessons during the lunch period. After school we had lessons also as well as on the weekend. Mind you this wasn't a private school(My younger bro attended a private school...his teacher was a teacher who used to teach in my primary school...his class obtained really great passes as well) and everyone in my class year passed for colleges, convents and other 7 year schools. One of the students placed in the Top 100 as well. That year was probably the best year for that school. That was the A class though.

The lessons wasn't free either...it was like $50 or something...but who cares...nothing is free in this world anymore...like some people forgetting that teaching is a JOB.

People need to stop blaming teachers for the way youths are today. Blame the youths for the choices that they make...not their teachers...You guys can babble how much you want about teachers not being there for children and that kind of garbage but at the end of the day the teacher still collecting a cheque at the end of the month and doesn't have to give a crap about your complaints or the youths allyuh beating up over.

Becoming a Primary or Secondary School Teacher

In order to teach at a primary or secondary school in Trinidad and Tobago, a person must first obtain a Teacher's Registration Number. Once registered, the person can then apply for employment as a primary or secondary-level teacher at any government or private school.

Education officials to meet on SEA question
By Kimoy Leon Sing
Story Created: May 13, 2013 at 10:39 PM ECT
Story Updated: May 13, 2013 at 10:45 PM ECT
Education Minister Dr Tim Gopeesingh has said the Chief Education Officer is to meet with a team today to discuss the controversy over Question 35 in last week’s Secondary Entrance Assessment(SEA).
“The Chief Education Officer is meeting with the team today, when I go back there I will get a report on it,” Gopeesingh said when asked about the issue during a tour of some of the nation’s libraries yesterday.
Gopeesingh announced that new libraries will be built throughout Trinidad and Tobago. The minister, the board and executive of the National Library and Information System of Trinidad and Tobago (Nalis) began a tour from around 8 a.m., starting with the Arima Public Library. They also visited The Book Mobile Maloney Public Library, St Helena Public Library, San Juan Public Library, Diego Martin Public Library and the St James Public Library, 31 Church Street, St James.
Gopeesingh said, “We have been moving around today looking at how we are going to improve the libraries and their services. Currently four new libraries are being built in the following areas: Mayaro, Rio Claro, Chaguanas and Couva.”
Gopeesingh said a number of the libraries are housed in very old buildings that desperately need upgrading to better serve the public.
He said six other libraries are set for immediate construction in other parts of Trinidad and Tobago.
“We are also working together with the Commissioner of State lands in a number of areas to determine the construction of other libraries throughout different parts of Trinidad and Tobago,” Gopeesingh said.
He said, “We are looking at improvement in mobile services. We are also looking at increased training for human resource personnel for libraries.”
“The Partnership Government is giving more scholarships for pupils to become certified with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree. We are also working with the international agencies that do e-text books so we can be part of their licensing agreement and we are hoping to use the expertise of a number of senior personnel who have retired, who will work in an advisory capacity,” he said.
He said that while steps are being taken to improve efficiency and to deliver a better quality of service to the public, there was a shortage of human resource personnel at public libraries
