Education Minister Michael Dowlath said the component would allow pupils to demonstrate competencies that a single written examination cannot fully assess, the station reports. These are the Minister’s stated aims for assessment, rather than an independent measurement of results.
The report says sessions for teachers and administrators across Trinidad and Tobago will continue in the coming weeks. It supplies no detailed session schedule, assessment weighting or revised SEA examination date. Families and schools should distinguish this report of teacher training from an official notice setting those arrangements.
