Seecharan: All students will be placed

Seecharan was speaking to Newsday yesterday after the launch of the Penmanship with a Purpose campaign, hosted by the Ministry of Education at the Government Campus Plaza, Richmond Street, Port of Spain.

He said the ministry had merely been verifying the number of places available.

“It was simply getting principals to align what we have with what they submitted to us,” he said.

“We are still in the process to find out how the document has been leaked into the public domain – the memo went out to the education district offices – and who would have shared it with principals.

“We are looking at a lot of people involved in the process.

Based on the investigation we will act appropriately. Persons are not to disseminate confidential information, and it was an internal document. If we find that someone had violated that, we can recommend disciplinary action to the Teaching Service Commission.”
