President restates oil revenue-education message at D’Urban Park

President David Granger addressing the students and teachers at the 2019 Education Exposition

President David Granger has once again committed to using revenue earned from oil and gas to improve Guyana’s education sector.

Speaking at the “first ever” Education Exposition held to at D’Urban Park on Monday Granger promised the hundreds of teachers and student present that Guyana will build a first class education system where every Guyanese child will be educated at state expense from the Nursery to Tertiary level.

“Once you are educated, this economy will expand. We want highly trained, highly educated workers and you will be able to go out there and deliver quality performance in whatever field you choose. Employment opportunities will expand and we will want to make sure everyone of you, if you can’t be employed by some agency or corporation, you’d be able to employ yourself by expanding enterprise. You’d be able to go to manufacturing, agro-processing, mining and other forms of production,” he stressed.
