Dr the Hon. Kei­th Row­ley Prime Min­is­ter of the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go sends his well wish­es to stu­dents across Trinidad and To­ba­go, urg­ing the pub­lic to still be cau­tious dur­ing the pan­dem­ic.

De­tails fol­low in this press re­lease…

Af­ter al­most two years of ex­pe­ri­enc­ing the worst trau­ma, stress and over­all de­pri­va­tion in their de­vel­op­ment, our chil­dren are cau­tious­ly step­ping back out in­to school as we knew it.  

I am so hap­py. 

The pan­dem­ic has made de­mands on our young ones that none of the rest of us have ever been called up­on to deal with. 

We wish them all God’s bless­ings and guid­ance as they re­trieve their de­vel­op­ment path­ways. Our coun­try’s fu­ture de­pends on their pro­tec­tion and their suc­cess. 

As the schools open, I im­plore all cit­i­zens to re­mem­ber that we are still not out of the woods yet. The pan­dem­ic is still a very re­al threat and our in­di­vid­ual co­op­er­a­tion is re­quired to ame­lio­rate its ef­fects. 

It’s a good, long-await­ed day. Let us ac­knowl­edge its sig­nif­i­cance and con­tin­ue work­ing dili­gent­ly and re­spon­si­bly to­wards even bet­ter days. 

Our chil­dren hold our promise and they de­serve all our sup­port. Watch them go. Help them grow.
