Guyana’s education system took another step forward with the Ministry of Education’s signing of a Statement of Endorsement of the Guyana Partnership Compact.

A Ministry of Education (MoE) release yesterday explained that the Partnership Compact aims to achieve improved quality, equitable participation, and achievement, in basic education for the sustainable development of Guyana. It added that specific attention is given to the multicultural diversity of Guyana, to promote the inclusion of all children living in urban, riverine or hinterland areas, children born in Guyana and migrants, or children with disabilities and ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all in Guyana.
