A new programme initiated by the Ministry of Education and the University of Guyana (UG) will open opportunities for teachers in hinterland regions to access university education.

Teachers attending the University of Guyana (UG) will no longer have to leave school during class hours or wait in line to attend the institution as the university has launched its International Centre of Excellence in Educator Innovation, Learning and Development (ICEEILD).

THE Ministry of Education has commenced a series of consultations with stakeholders in the education sector to assess the development of the sector and conceptualise recommendations to enhance its transformation.

The St. Therese Primary School in New Amsterdam, Region Six is expected to get a new wing at a cost of some $28.4 million which will allow more students to be accommodated at the institution.

The Ministry of Education today rolled out a three-day programme for preparing for the rollout of the renewed curriculum.

Students of the Patentia Secondary school benefited from a comprehensive anti-drug awareness campaign from regional education authorities, days after four schoolgirls of this school were hospitalised after allegedly consuming an illegal drug.

The Ministry of Education’s call for untrained teachers to be enrolled at the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) is a move that will ensure educators are in a better position to deliver quality education even as Guyana moves towards a first-class education system.
