The sod was turned yesterday at the site of the planned Prospect Secondary School and Education Minister Priya Manickchand said it is expected to deliver quality secondary education to 1,000 students on the East Bank of Demerara.
Speaking at a sod turning ceremony, Manickchand said the new school will serve to eradicate some of the present challenges faced on the East Bank as it relates to providing quality secondary education and she committed the ministry to working to ensure that the leadership of the project is properly handled.
On the latter point, she noted that the school is one of several that were catered for in 2014 under the World Bank-funded Guyana Secondary Education Improvement Project (GSEIP) through which the ministry was working towards achieving universal secondary education here.
