Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has con­grat­u­lat­ed stu­dents across Trinidad and To­ba­go on re­ceiv­ing their 2025 SEA re­sults, telling them they have al­ready achieved some­thing re­mark­able by show­ing re­silience and ded­i­ca­tion.

In a mes­sage to mark the oc­ca­sion, the Prime Min­is­ter re­mind­ed stu­dents that ex­am re­sults do not de­fine their worth. “What tru­ly mat­ters is your de­ter­mi­na­tion to grow, your will­ing­ness to learn, and your be­lief in your­self,” she said.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar reaf­firmed her gov­ern­ment’s com­mit­ment to ed­u­ca­tion, high­light­ing the promise to pro­vide every in­com­ing Form One stu­dent with a free lap­top in Sep­tem­ber. She said the ini­tia­tive aims to en­sure equal ac­cess to knowl­edge, tech­nol­o­gy and op­por­tu­ni­ty for all chil­dren.

She al­so praised par­ents, guardians and teach­ers for their un­wa­ver­ing sup­port, say­ing their role has been es­sen­tial to the suc­cess of the na­tion’s chil­dren.

“This is on­ly the be­gin­ning of a bright and beau­ti­ful jour­ney ahead,” she said, en­cour­ag­ing stu­dents to take pride in their ef­forts and re­main fo­cused as they be­gin the next stage of their ed­u­ca­tion.

“No mat­ter which school you go to, with con­tin­ued ef­fort and sup­port, you will suc­ceed. Be proud, keep shin­ing, and know that the fu­ture is yours.”
