The Abrams Zuil Secondary School under construction

During a visit on Friday by Minister of Education Priya Manickchand to the Abrams Zuil Secondary on the Essequibo Coast, concerns were raised about the pace of work as the new school is now months behind the scheduled completion date.

Manickchand along with the Minister of Local Government and Regional Development, Nigel Dharamlall, inquired about the unfinished walkways, classrooms and other basics needed to accommodate the approximately 700 students who are scheduled to start school at the Abrams Zuil Secondary School this year.

Also present during the visit were other senior officers from the Ministry of Education, as well as representatives of the regional administration and the contractor.
