The National School Code of Conduct (NSCC) is a foundational policy framework developed by the Ministry of Education to promote safe, secure, inclusive, and disciplined learning environments in all schools across Trinidad and Tobago. Rooted in the principles of child protection, equity, and the best interest of the child, the NSCC establishes a consistent national standard for student behaviour, outlines the responsibilities of school personnel and stakeholders, and provides clear guidance for managing misconduct in Primary and Secondary Schools. This revised edition reflects significant legislative, technological, and social developments that have influenced the education sector. It incorporates updated legal requirements and addresses contemporary issues such as cyber-safety, digital citizenship, child protection, and school-based criminal activity. The NSCC also defines the roles and responsibilities of new and existing categories of safety personnel.
