PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC—The National Primary School Principals Association (NAPPA) has condemned the spate of bomb threats against primary schools in Trinidad, warning that the disruption caused by these threats coincides with a critical period in the academic calendar.
In a statement, the NAPSPA said the safety and well-being of primary school students and staff are essential to the organization, and any threat, regardless of its credibility, is intolerable and must be addressed with the utmost seriousness.
The bomb threats were directed at schools in the South Eastern Education District and were e-mailed on March 5 and 6.
In its statement, the NAPSPA said the disruption comes when students prepare for the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) and end-of-term assessments.
It said the “normal educational process has been severely hindered, affecting not only academic progress but also children’s emotional and psychological welfare.”
It called for a thorough investigation by law enforcement agencies to identify and swiftly arrest those responsible, saying it would send “a clear message that such acts would not be tolerated.”
The NAPSPA also commended the principals’ efforts in managing the crisis and urged collaboration with law enforcement, local authorities, and community partners to enhance schools’ security.
