A number of primary school students in Regions Five and Six will now have a place in their schools to read thanks to a drive held by students of the University of Guyana, the Department of Public Information (DPI) said.
The Division of Education and Humanities in collaboration with the University of Guyana Berbice Campus’ Library and the Department of Education on Saturday held its second Christmas Cheer and Book Drive drawing which will mean 24 classrooms are to be provided with a complete reading space equipped with fully stocked bookshelves.
DPI said that the project is aimed at enabling primary schools to promote literacy through reading for pleasure and was undertaken by 36 students from the class “Teaching of Language Arts at the Primary Level”.
