Education Minister Dr Rupert Roopnaraine yesterday said Cabinet is considering the demands of those protesting against the placement of VAT on private tuition fees and a meeting will soon be scheduled with the Guyana Private Schools United to address the matter.
Roopnaraine made the disclosure yesterday during the opening of a newly-constructed building on the University of Guyana’s Turkeyen campus.
“I want to schedule the meeting as quickly as possible. When I get back to the ministry, I’ll see what’s the schedule and I’ll try to get a consultation with them as quickly as possible. I’ve seen their approach, we’re going to look at it — I mean we want to ensure that the private schools are able to do what they need to do,” Roopnaraine stated.
