Four secondary school students have been suspended for seven days after they were involved in a fight on Monday afternoon, following the first day of the new school term.

Police sources confirmed that a notice from the school’s principal directed the boys to attend the Sangre Grande Suspension Centre during the seven days they will be away from school.

Sources also stated that the boys will be under the supervision of TTPS Community Officer PC Felix Persad as part of the Youth Development Programme of the TTPS Community Policing Unit.

The 3 boys and their parents were summoned to the school, while the fourth student was represented by a parent.

Footage of the fight, which took place outside a Sangre Grande primary school, was captured and subsequently shared on social media.

Government is promising a “very robust” legislative agenda when Parliament resumes on Friday, with legislation aimed at removing what the current administration describes as a longstanding bottleneck in the construction approval process set to come before the House.

Leader of Government Business in the House of Representatives Barry Padarath confirmed that the Public Health (Amendment) (No 2) Bill, 2026 will be among the legislation before MPs when the House returns on September 11.

Parliament has been on its mid-year break since June 18th.

The Bill seeks to remove the oversight of County Medical Officers of Health (CMOH) from the construction permitting system.

NPTA, TTUTA and other stakeholders have rejected Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s proposal to send persistently disruptive students home as part of a zero-tolerance approach to school indiscipline.

Speaking as the new school year began, NPTA president Walter Stewart said the association supports the Prime Minister’s call for greater discipline and respect in schools but questioned the proposed response.

Stewart warned that sending students home would not address the root causes of their behaviour and could create further challenges for children and parents.

The arrest of a 15-year-old Tobago schoolboy on a possible capital charge has raised concern among Education Secretary Orlando Kerr and residents of Plymouth.

The Form Four student was detained on Sunday after his 70-year-old relative, Leon Scotland, died following an altercation at their home on Saturday.
Police said Scotland suffered a head injury during the dispute and later died at Scarborough General Hospital.

While the teenager’s classmates returned to school for the new academic year, he remained in police custody for a second day.

Senior Superintendent Rodhil Kirk confirmed the boy was still in custody as investigations continued, adding that police were being guided by the Children Act.

A 65-year-old businessman is assisting police after he accidentally left his licensed G***k 42 pistol and eight rounds of ammunition on his vehicle’s rear bumper in El Socorro on Sunday.

The man told police he placed the firearm and ammunition on the bumper while stopping along Sadhoo Trace before driving away and forgetting them.

He later realised the weapon was missing and retraced his route, but could not find it.

Police searched the area and are seeking CCTV footage. Investigations are continuing.

The Ministry of Education confirms that all 777 Government and Government-Assisted schools, including Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) centres, across Trinidad and Tobago were open on Monday 7 September 2026 for the start of the 2026/2027 academic year.

The Ministry reaffirms its commitment to continuing the Government’s education initiatives, including the School Nutrition Programme, Stronger Nutrition Standards, School Supplies and Book Grant initiative, Digital and AI-enhanced Learning, and student and parent support. Incoming Form 1 students are expected to receive their laptops during Term I of the 2026/2027 academic year.

Works will be conducted after school hours and at weekends to complete outstanding repairs where necessary at a few schools. Required health and safety standards will be maintained to protect students and staff.

After allegations of gangsterism, intimidation and extortion surfaced within the NCRHA’s Patient Es**rt and Hospital Attendant Services, chairman Dr Tim Gopeesingh has stated that the situation is improving.

Gopeesingh said staff are becoming more comfortable at work, with better attendance and performance.

The comments follow a September 1 NCRHA review which uncovered allegations of bullying, threats, extortion and gang affiliation among more than 400 workers.

Daily absenteeism reportedly ranged from 30 to 50 per cent, while some employees were accused of late-coming, leaving shifts early and refusing to transport patients.

The NCRHA said the issues affected patient transfers and ambulance operations but reported improvements in attendance, transfers and workplace stability following measures introduced by the new administration.

AMCHAM T&T has welcomed renewed engagement between Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela, saying it could strengthen economic growth, energy cooperation and regional security.

Following Foreign and CARICOM Affairs Minister Sean Sobers’ visit to Venezuela last Thursday, CEO Nirad Tewarie said closer ties could create opportunities in trade, investment, energy, agriculture and sustainable development.

He also said greater cooperation could boost energy security while helping both countries address shared challenges, including transnational crime, trafficking and border security.
