THA Chief Secretary Ancil Dennis has said Tobago’s political history must be taught in schools.
He made the statement on Friday after attending Wendell Eversley’s annual wreath-laying ceremony at the Bacolet gravesite of late prime minister and president ANR Robinson.
The event commemorated the 31st anniversary of the July 27, 1990 attempted coup.
Robinson was prime minister and leader of the National Alliance For Reconstruction when Muslimeen insurgents, led by Jamaat leader Yasin Abu Bakr stormed the Parliament chamber of the Red House, Port of Spain, to protest what they believed were harsh socio-economic conditions in the country at the time.
