Make Home Economics compulsory for all schools in Guyana

Dear Editor,

We need to make Home Economics compulsory for all schools in Guyana for the CSEC since it’s very much necessary in our everyday lives. While going back to school days, I recalled we had a choice between Home Economics and Agriculture. We need home-makers in society. Every girl should learn to love the wonders of the home very early in life – cooking, sewing, cleaning, interior decorating etc.

“I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate and continue to support and take care of each other. I want to give women a space to feel their own strength and tell their stories. That is power.” Beyoncé. “It’s important to teach our female youth that it’s OK to say, ‘Yes, I am good at this,’ and you don’t hold back.” Simone Biles.

Sincerely,

Mia Balgobin
