Dear Editor,
While the showcase distribution of books by the Ministry of Education is highlighted in the media as an Education Month activity, one wonders how many of our schools in Guyana have an active library with a librarian attached.
Does the Ministry of Education have a School Libraries Division? Is it properly staffed if it exists? Does it receive an adequate allocation to cater for technical services to school libraries?
Are teachers, on the assumption that the government is too poor to employ librarians, trained to monitor libraries?
Yours faithfully,
