Emphasising that Guyana’s development hinges on the education of its people, President David Granger yesterday pledged to ensure that quality education is available in all regions of the country even as he urged the populace to assist less fortunate children.
Speaking at the second annual conference of the International Decade for People of African Descent Assembly-Guyana, Granger recalled that in the past, the community took responsibility for every child and made sure that they went to, and stayed in school.
“And today, it is a community challenge again to ensure that in your street, in your village, in your neighbourhood, every child will go to school,” the president said, even as he pledged that come next year, his government will enforce constitutional provisions to ensure free education for all.
