The Synod of the Presbyterian Church of Trinidad and Tobago (PCTT) and the Presbyterian Education Boards extend heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Michael Dowlath on his appointment as Minister of Education of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Dr. Dowlath, a distinguished Presbyterian educator and servant-leader, has dedicated decades of his life to shaping young minds and building strong institutions. His Principalship at Iere High School and Naparima College was marked by academic excellence, moral guidance, and a deep commitment to holistic education.
His elevation to national office is both a testament to his unwavering dedication to the field of education and a proud moment for the Presbyterian family. The Church recognizes his new role as a continuation of his faithful calling to serve the youth and the nation with wisdom, humility, and integrity.
As he assumes this critical portfolio, we pray that Dr. Dowlath and his team will be guided by God’s wisdom and grace, drawing on his experience and deep values to lead the transformation of our nation’s education system for the benefit of all.
We affirm our support and offer continued prayers for Dr. Dowlath, his family, and all who labour with him in this new chapter of public service.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
