He attended both private and government schools attaining a Senior Cambridge School Certificate, Grade one, in 1952. After working very briefly as a Civil Servant in the Warden’s Office in Sangre Grande, he joined the teaching profession, becoming an assistant teacher (under training), at a Roman Catholic school in Arima.
Following in the footsteps of three of his “Windrush” cousins, he emigrated to England in 1957 and studied at Westminster College in London while working in restaurants to pay his way. He was called up for National Service but volunteered instead to join the Royal Air Force. He was stationed at RAF Waddington, a Bomber Command station in Lincolnshire. He courted a west country lass in the romantic city of Bath, married her and had six children. After serving as an electronic technician, in air radar, for 10 years, he again became a teacher after a two-year course at Bishop Grosseteste College. He was later to gain a MA (Ed.) degree from the University of Hull.
Having taught at both Secondary and Middle schools in Lincolnshire and Humberside for a number of years, he left to take up an appointment in the Youth and Community Service in Berkshire. He took early retirement from the post of County Youth and Community Education Officer and returned to Trinidad with his wife in 1992.lihat lebih sedikit
