It is high time our people are programmed from the cradle to the grave to be Guianese. Our system of education needs to be dramatically reformed. It must be made to reflect our national fabric. It must reproduce Guianese. It must neither reflect nor parrot English cultural Experience. Education in Guyana, Today remains as has been the scenario beginning with the introduction of Eurocentric education to African slaves in the colonies of Essequebo, Demerary and Berbice by Europeans hell-bent on reproducing thoughts aimed at servitude to colonial administration. Education is a force behind nation building. The literary works of Martin Carter and several others including Rodney and Kwayana, Egbert Leo Martin, Thomas Elliott, must be part of the curriculum in the system of schools in Guyana. I mean after forty-two years of political independence - Why isn’t our education system not made to resemble our cultural and national experience? nabaclisman@gmail.com I concur with the thoughts as expressed in this correspondence.
