Press Release - To Burn A School Is To Destroy The Most Necessary Tool For Poverty Alleviation In A Community
The Ministry of Education condemns in the strongest possible language the burning of the One Mile Primary School at Linden.
The school is the largest primary school in Region 10 and is home to more than 830 of Guyana’s children.
Peaceful protest and freedom to assemble is enshrined in our Constitution and must not only be allowed but encouraged in any democracy. This government upholds that principle. No person in their right mind, however, can argue that to burn bridges, block roads and burn schools constitute peaceful protest.
