Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand has said that as of this year, her ministry is looking to have all teachers across the country trained.
According to the minister, the number of trained teachers at any level has never surpassed 80 per cent. She told a recent press conference that over the last 15 years there has only been an average of 70 per cent to 79 per cent of trained teachers at any given time while explaining that teachers are constantly reaching the age of retirement, have passed away, or changed careers before being fully trained. However, the Education Ministry hopes to have all teachers meet the 100 per cent mark.
