Abstract
Some problems encountered in primary science teaching in Trinidad and Tobago include: the lack of formal science training among primary school teachers, day-to-day problems of classroom management, and the influence of preschool concepts in science. A programme consisting of well-organized science fairs, mobile or fixed science and technology museums, and science learning centres should help to alleviate some of the existing problems in Trinidad and Tobago and the rest of the Caribbean. The syllabuses followed in some of the Caribbean islands are appended
