00:00Yesterday, the Ministry of Education launched six new learning resources meant to benefit students from Forms 1 and 2
00:06as digital education becomes a more integral method of learning in the modern world.
00:11This has, however, affected booksellers across Trinidad and Tobago as owner of Muhammad Bookstores Associates Ltd.
00:17Teddy Muhammad tells us.
00:19Yes, we have sales have been a little lower than last year.
00:27But I think what really caused it is our Ministry of Education has decided to use AI system for all
00:44Form 2s in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:48This will interfere with the sales and surely what it has done, all the Form 2s books is packed in
00:58our warehouse and which will have an impact on our business.
01:04Meanwhile, Back to School Prep continues as one parent tells us it's been a waiting game for her.
01:09Well, Back to School Prep has been a waiting game, actually, for me.
01:16Checking out prices everywhere.
01:18I'm more humble than I am.
01:20They have a great 15% off of all the guests off the school.
01:26So we just decided to come here last night to see what we get.
01:29I need to get everything, so I hope I get everything today.
01:31Another parent says even though he began sourcing his son's books early, it's still been a bit of a challenge.
01:38Well, of course, we would have gotten the list and started early.
01:42You need to do that.
01:43Not all the time they would have the books.
01:45So this is my second trip here.
01:48I'm collecting some of the books.
01:50Sometimes it could be, so it's between here.
01:53I live in Piaaco, so Trin City would be a place.
01:56So we picked up one or two there and we got the rest of it here.
