Tobago businessman Ancle George -
A Tobago businessman has called for a review of the country’s education system, to prevent students who get 30 per cent and below in the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) examination from entering mainstream secondary schools.
Ancle George, manager of the Naturalist Beach Resort, Castara, believes there is a link between low-performing students and crime.
The resort on Tuesday donated 18 tablets to four primary schools in response to the Division of Education, Innovation and Energy’s call for entrepreneurs to help provide digital devices to less fortunate students to assist their online classes.
During a simple ceremony at the division’s head office, Dutch Fort, Scarborough, tablets were presented to the principals of Castara Government, Des Vignes Road Government, Parlatuvier Anglican and L’Anse Fourmi Methodist.
