Even though schools here have fully reopened after being closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the British government is “very” keen on helping to ensure students recover from learning loss.

Director of the Education, Gender and Equality Directorate (EdGE), at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Alicia Herbert, recently concluded a two-day visit to Guyana.

She told members of the media during an interview on Wednesday afternoon that she met with Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education Alfred King and other officials within the sector to discuss efforts being made to ensure children have returned to school and are recovering from learning loss.
