With good grades in English Language and Mathematics increasingly being touted as a critical doorway to higher education and meaningful employment paths in Guyana,” the Georgetown-based JTW Management Institute has launched the City and Guilds of London and English and Mathematics certificates as what the Institute’s Director Jocelyn Williams is describing as a “second chance” for CSEC students and young school leavers.

Williams told Stabroek Business during an interview earlier this week that what the Institute is offering is City and Guilds-designed Mathematics & English Certificates “tailor made” for young school leavers, and those who drop out of school without the required CSEC passes in English and Mathematics. Apart from the opportunity that the course offers to what she calls “an option” for students looking ahead to the CSEC examination it also offers “a second chance” through a carefully designed regimen of tuition leading to the Certificates.
