Dear Editor,
Please allow me this opportunity to say thank you publicly to the Minister of Education, Hon. Priya Manickchand.
On August 04, 2022, I penned a letter in your newspaper expressing my frustration with applying to various places and never getting a reply from them. In that letter, I made mention of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education with the hopes of having someone from either of those ministries reach out to me.
On August 05, 2022, I received an email from a representative at the Ministry of Education. I responded to that message and was told that the individual was asked by Minister Manickchand to reach out to me. I was advised to fill out a teacher’s application form and to bring it into him with my certificates and other necessary documents, which I did.
I also received another email for another representative from the Ministry of Education stating that Minister Manickchand asked the individual to reach out to me also. I explained to her that I had submitted the application already and I gave her the name of the person to whom it was submitted to. She did a follow up and informed me that the application is being processed.
Today, August 23, 2022, I received a call from the Teaching Service Commission and was asked if I am still interested in being a teacher to which I responded, “Yes I am.” I was then told of the school that I will be placed at and was told that a representative from the Teaching Service Commission will make contact with me in a few days time.
Minister Manickchand, I must say how thankful I am that you read my letter and had your team reach out to me and assist with the entire application process. I sure hope that youths like me would read my letter and endeavour to work hard for what they want. Explore all avenues and options like I did.
Regards,
A Thankful Youth
