Following discussions between the Minister of Education Priya Manickchand and the parents of the now displaced students of the Christ Church Secondary School that was destroyed by fire last week, it was decided that the students will be placed at the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) at Turkeyen, Georgetown.

The education sector received a massive $94.4 billion allocation in the 2023 National Budget and Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh noted that significant sums will be directed towards providing accommodation for fire-affected students, feeding school children and purchasing textbooks. 

Hours after a fire destroyed the Christ Church Secondary School, Education Minister Priya Manickchand said options are being considered to prioritise finding alternative accommodation for the students preparing for the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate exams.

The first phase of the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL) scholarship programme for 2023 was launched on Saturday at Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni – Mazaruni).
