Making use of 3 days

The underlying premise is that Carnival week results in three days of educational instruction that is loss due to the absence of students.

Perhaps these three days of educational instruction can be reclaimed should the Ministry of Education mandate that TT UTA’s Professional Teacher’s Day be carded for Ash Wednesday.

Also, that the annual sports day for all schools be scheduled for the Friday of Carnival week and heats for these sports be conducted on the Thursday.

In this way, the three days which are normally loss for these activities would now be secured for teaching.
