Dear Editor,
In 2022, the Honourable Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand had stated that pre-service teachers in college would receive a salary instead of a stipend. However, it seems as though that is not the case anymore. The CPCE Training Centre in Region 5 located at Belladrum would have announced that no stipends would be given to students anymore and going so far as to seek $500 donations to purchase chairs and other items from students.
When was it announced by the Honourable Minister that stipends would no longer be given to pre-service students?
Best regards,
N. Kewley
