Recognizing that the continuous success of Guyana’s education system hinges upon the professionals who stand in the classroom every day, the Ministry of Education has drafted a document that is intended to hold teachers to specific professional standards.

The Ministry of Education is inviting members of the public to participate in its countrywide Consultations on Professional Standards for Teachers.
