FOCUS ON EDUCATION
The Five Islands have been aptly called
the "Gateway to Heritage" given the
role they have played in the peopling
of Trinidad and Tobago.
Nelson island and the Five Islands offer
a rich history from colonization,
indentureship, World War II, labour
uprisings and revolutionary periods in
the country.
The National Trust recognizes that a
visit to Nelson Island is on-site
education, where citizens and
especially students, are able to explore
an historical classroom. This education
hub allow students to gain valuable
knowledge about events that form part
of the history of Trinidad and Tobago.
Nelson Island therefore contributes to
a better understanding of what is
being taught in the history curriculum
at schools. In 2015, 973 primary,
secondary and tertiary students
visited the island.
Under the aegis of the National Trust,
Nelson Island will continue to be
promoted as a unique learning
experience, which gives a sense of
identity and an understanding of
heritage.
As Nelson Island continues to be
restored, it will bring a greater sense
of pride, and appreciation for the
patrimony of Trinidad and Tobago.
