| Abstract: | AS colonialism drew politically to a close in 1962, Trinidad and Tobago found itself with an education system which bore all the characteristic features of cultural imperialism. There was no national outlook in education and no unified control. The secondary school system bore not the slightest relation to, nor took the slightest interest in, the primary schools. The secondary school enrolment was limited – 15,000 pupils as against 187,000 in primary schools in 1961, of whom one in five was over 12. The old college exhibition ha< l beer. replaced by the common entrance examination, as a result of which 8,000 pupils entered secondary school in 1961. |
