Does anyone of my colleagues in this Reading Program ever wonder what our fate will be at the end of this program? I know that I do wonder and especially so because of the change in government. I wonder if anyone has told the new Education Minister that there exists such a program so that it can be and by extension WE (the future first Reading Specialists) can be considered in his new vision for education in T&T. I think it will be a great opportunity for SEMP the initiator of this program to get together a group of us to sit and collate a plan for the way ahead. I plan tp put forward this idea to Mr G. Sarkar and others from the Unit. We need to begin now to plan what the way forward as the first group of Reading Specialists.
Our task is not an easy one but it is a MUCH NEEDED ONE and having common a goal/mission/vision will make it easier. One of the first goal I believe is to let that Ministry REMEMBER that we are here and in the next few months when we are finished what do they plan for us?
We all will readily agreee that our schools need us, our communities need us, our country needs us even our region needs us but do they know that we are here, preparing (academically) and will be coming in the next few months?
