Training
The schooling is compulsory between 6 and 13 years and
the compulsory school is free of charge. The education
system has three levels. First comes a 7-year primary
school, which is mainly state but has a significant private
element. Then follows a secondary school with two main
types: a 3- plus 2-year-old and a 5- or 7-year-old. The
selection for this is done through the exam at the age of
11-12. Higher education is provided at some teacher training
institutes as well as a branch of the University of the West
Indies. Admission to the latter takes place after completing
sixth form, the last two years of the 7-year
secondary school. The school bears the mark of the British
colonial past. Increased admission to technical and medical
education as well as schooling for anyone up to 18 years is
prioritized. Check topschoolsintheusa for test centers of ACT, SAT, and GRE as well high schools in the country of Trinidad and Tobago.
