Singh Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:09:42 +0000 http://www.stabroeknews.com/?p=22123#comment-23411 It is heartening to learn that the Ministry of Education (MOE) is making a concerted effort to embark on a program of literacy and numeracy. While I was living in Guyana not so long ago, I wrote, spoke and lobbied all and sundry to pay attention to this malady that has been at the root of most, if not all of the problems of Guyanese life. I even tried to actually do some concrete work on the topic, but I faltered, since not much help was available from the corridors of power. Anyway, it is better late than never and I wish the programme much success.
