Ministry of Education, Guyana

The Abram Zuil Secondary School on the Essequibo Coast is to be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art learning institution fit for 750 students.

As the Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica) Department of Education awaits the results of the 2019 National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA), it is confident that children in the Region will excel better than ever before.

One hundred and thirty youths from nineteen villages and communities in the Rupununi received a financial boost to their respective businesses established under the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Hinterland Employment Youth Service (HEYS) Programme. The grant is in the amount of $6.5 million.

Some 60 youths in Region Ten (Upper Demerara-Berbice) are being trained in patient care. Such training will not only improve the quality of care patients receive in the region but will also serve as means out of unemployment.
