The Education Ministry has said its head offices – Tower A and B, St Vincent Street, Port of Spain – and all district offices will be closed to the public from noon on December 17. A memorial service takes place at 1 pm at the ministry.

In a post on social media, the ministry said the decision was made to allow staff time for reflection and personal support during this difficult period.

The notice came a day after the tragic death of Minister in the Education Ministry Lisa Morris-Julian and two of her children.

The ministry said it would resume normal operations at 8 am on December 18.
