South East Port-of-Spain Secondary School Steel Orchestra members perform Out and Bad, by Voice, in the preliminaries of Junior Panorama at the Silver Stars Panyard on Tragarete Road, Port-of-SpainTrinidad & Tobago, W.I. - A 62 per cent decrease in schools’ participation in the 2023 Junior Panorama Competition has been blamed on the Ministry of Education dropping one of its music programmes.
In 2020, the competition had 67 schools participating, which was a record-high number. However, this year there are only 25 schools in the competition. Initially, there were 25 schools---17 secondary schools and 11 primary schools--but three secondary schools withdrew from the competition.
