This is according to a report on Port-of-Spain schools laid in Parliament on November 24 by the Joint Select Committee on Human Rights, Equality, and Diversity. Of course, the report doesn’t actually say Afro students are doing poorly, but that’s what ‘Port-of-Spain and Environs’ is code for. What, then, needs to be done to help Afro students? A modernised version of that system is needed to solve the problems of Port-of-Spain schools. And, since none of what I recommend is politically palatable, Afro children will continue to be deprived and abused by the State.
