Students Missing Exams Due to Broken Support | Trinidad and Tobago News

Students are disappearing from CSEC and CAPE exams—not just skipping, but struggling to even show up—revealing a broken support system in Trinidad and Tobago’s education sector. The TTUTA blames the crippled Student Support Services Division, where key staff like social workers and counselors have lost contracts, leaving students without vital emotional and academic guidance. With teacher support programs also on hold, the union is demanding immediate action: reinstate SSSD personnel and revive the Employee Assistance Program. They argue that every student deserves encouragement to take the exam, regardless of fear or uncertainty—and that success starts with a system ready to back them up.
