"Teachers in Trinidad and Tobago are facing disappointment after the government's recent allocation of $127.8 million for the education sector. Despite the significant funding boost, Education Minister, Dr. Nyan Gadsby-Dolly, has announced that teachers will not be receiving backpay as part of the allocation. The decision has sparked outrage among educators, who had been expecting compensation for salary arrears dating back to 2020. The move raises questions about the government's commitment to supporting its most critical workforce, particularly in a sector that has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."
