Students at the El Socorro Hindu School this morning received counseling prior to exams after a fellow student committed suicide yesterday.
President of the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) Devanand Sinanan said he was saddened by the incident.
The student’s sibling was scheduled to write S.E.A today but she will sit the exam at a later date.
Mr. Sinanan said that the exam is stressful for students and the additional pressure placed on pupils by parents is unnecessary.
He added that teachers try to prepare the students mentally for the assessment to reduce tensions.
