President David Granger on Tuesday reminded the students of St John the Baptist Primary in Bartica, Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Region Seven, that education is important and emphasised his Government’s motto of ‘Every child in school’ (ECIS).
According to a Ministry of the Presidency (MoTP) release, President Granger visited the Primary School moments before attending this week’s Cabinet meeting held at the office of the Mayor and Town Council. This is the first time a Cabinet meeting has been held in Bartica.
Since taking office in 2015, President Granger through the Public Education Transport System (PETS) popularly known as the ‘Three Bs’ programme has provided boats, buses and bicycles to transport children across the country to school. Books and breakfast are also provided to school aged children.
