THE latest instalment of the Ministry of Education’s On the Pavers concert series, titled Route to Arrival, saw students from Avocat Vedic Primary, Balmain Presbyterian Primary, Freeport Hindu Primary, Parvati Girls’ Hindu College and Penal Rock Road Hindu Primary perform on the stage.

The audience was treated to songs, dance and tassa at the May 24 event.

THE Ministry of Education kicked off the series of concerts in 2023 at the ministry on St Vincent Street in Port of Spain.

“The Pavers concert series is an opportunity to give demonstrated effect of one element of its cultural transformation policy and provides students the opportunity to gain confidence in their stage presence and profile their talents,” said a ministry release.
