Policy on School Health, Nutrition and HIV&AIDS
Education is a basic human right for children. It improves their lives and gives them a strong foundation for continued learning. Guyana is committed to Education for All, and has planned that by 2015 all children, those in difficult circumstances, and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to and complete free and compulsory primary education of good quality.
Guyana also seeks to ensure that its young people and adults have access to appropriate learning and life-skills programs and that the quality of children's education is improved, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills. The Policy is intended to improve the education, health and nutrition of school children, teachers and members of the education sector in Guyana. This user-friendly version of the Policy was deemed necessary to ensure that the main target groups know and understand the Policy provisions.
