Education professionals are saying many teachers have already been vaccinated, contrary to the Prime Minister’s address on Thursday, when he expressed disappointment at vaccine hesitancy among teachers.
On Thursday, during a post-Cabinet briefing at his official residence in Blenheim, Tobago, Dr Rowley expressed concern about reports that some teachers did not want to be vaccinated.
“I hope that is just a temporary setback there,” he said. “I would like to have as many (as possible) of our teachers vaccinated as we go forward.”

President of the Catholic School Board Sharon Mangroo described a meeting with the Ministry of Education on Monday to discuss the reopening of schools in September as fruitful and said the board is open to dialogue with the ministry.
In a brief phone interview with Newsday on Wednesday, she said the meeting with Minister of Education Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly and Minister in the Ministry of Education Lisa Morris-Julian was “cordial, as usual.”
She said, like other education stakeholders that attended the meeting, the board indicated the time that they had to review the document was short and as such more in-depth responses would have to be given at a later date.

After the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) President Antonia Tekah-De Freitas expressed her disappointment in the ministry, De Freitas met with Minister of Education Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly and Minister in the Ministry of Education Lisa Morris-Julian on Tuesday as previously planned.
In a statement, Gadsby-Dolly said De Freitas indicated in the meeting that the union would require more time to deliberate on the draft guidelines for the reopening of schools in September.
“This would allow the union to meet with their members and make detailed recommendations for the operations of schools when physical reopening takes places,” said the statement.
