The chaos in our schools is a glaring reflection of our societal principals on behaviour and standards. Education is extremely broad and this learning process is where by we acquire knowledge, skills, values and even routine behaviour, however, many of the youth in Trinidad and Tobago have not benefitted from this privilege.
The truly underpinning matter is that one can be academically successful but posses little or no passion whilst performing their jobs, as the whole idea was to get certified so we can earn more money, not necessarily to contribute to our country or to help our fellow citizens.
When the concept of education is given this limited scope, the essence is lost, so the approach must be on developing a citizen of mental and moral quality distinctive to our people.
