Secondary school students continue to heat up the Internet with videos of themselves engaging in sexual activity at their schools.
One of the recent videos posted shows two students engaging in oral sex, but it was taken down from Facebook within a matter of hours as it started to go viral.
Another video shows two students engaging in sex in the classroom. At one point the male student who is having sex stops to acknowledge the student shooting the video with a wave and smile.
In an interview yesterday, Lana Maharaj-Boodoo, founder of Stop the Bullying, said teachers needed to take some of the blame for these acts, since students needed more supervision if this trend was to be curbed.
"It all comes to this, they (students) cannot do these acts if they are supervised. They (ministry) need to put cameras in the schools. They (teachers) need to do their jobs, it is not only to sit by a desk. They are responsible for the children once they are in the school," she said.
Antonia De Freitas, first vice president of the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers' Association (TTUTA), said it was also social issue.
"Parents need to take responsibility for what their children are doing and instill the proper values and they would not study to have sex," she said.
De Freitas said, however, that teachers arrange school supervising and they can't always account for the whereabouts of the students.
"They hide all over the place, under the stairs, behind the school. When you contact the parents and inform them about their children you don't always get the correct response.
"It is a social problem. Parents allow children to go places and watch all kinds of things, it is a social problems," she said.
Contacted on this critical issue yesterday, Minister of Education Tim Goopeesingh said he was not aware of the matter and "could not comment."
He said he would normally be briefed on such information through a channel of the principal, the school supervisor and then the chief education officer.
