Over 200 students from 13 primary schools across North East Trinidad recently participated in a vibrant Literacy Day Extravaganza, hosted at the Toco Regional Complex. The event, themed ‘Pages of Enchantment,’ was organized by the Arrow Foundation and sponsored by Perenco Trinidad. It aimed to foster a love for reading through interactive activities such as literacy games, puppet shows, and storytelling sessions. The day also featured the distribution of free books and hampers to students and teachers, symbolizing the community’s commitment to literacy development. Dr. Alicia Lucien Baptiste, representing the Ministry of Education, emphasized the foundational role of literacy in unlocking learning potential and building stronger citizens. The event is part of a broader literacy initiative endorsed by the Ministry, which includes brain-based technology software, workshops for parents and teachers, and home support for students. Christopher Bonterre, managing director of the Arrow Foundation, highlighted the program’s success, noting that 92% of SEA students from participating schools passed their exams, with 96% showing significant improvement in literacy skills. The collaboration between the Arrow Foundation, Perenco, and the Ministry of Education continues to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a renewed passion for reading among young learners.
