It is very disturbing to me why it is that parents and children have to protest with placards etc, to have things put in place for the Presbyterian-run primary schools in Trinidad.
Firstly, there is the slow progress with the completion of the Woodbrook Presbyterian School which was established since 1922 and has produced many outstanding citizens of our beloved country.
Next on the list is the Eccelsville Presbyterian School where the children have to be accommodated at the nearby Presbyterian Church. Then finally, the Siparia Presbyterian Primary School. Here again, the parents and the children have to stage another protest. I am appealing to those in charge to take cognisance of the fact that this should not be happening in this day and age.
Proper funding should be allocated to Presbyterian primary schools throughout the country.
Come on, Mr Garcia, the ball is in your court, as the line minister in charge of education.
