As part of its commitment to have theatre and performing arts integrated into the secondary schools curriculum, the Department of Culture has selected five secondary schools in Region Three, Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, for the implementation of this programme beginning in September 2019.
According to a Department of Public Information (DPI) release, this announcement was made by the Director of Culture Tamika Boatswain, during a “Government Comes to You” outreach held in April at the Leonora Synthetic Track.
This disclosure by the Department of Culture follows an approach that was made to the agency by a teacher, Candacy Amsterdam, to have theatre and performing arts integrated into the secondary schools curriculum as a way of fostering more significant development and an appreciation among students.
