Important planks
In thinking about the issues of economic inclusion and social cohesion, the mind of this writer was drawn to the business organization known as the cooperative society. The two concepts of economic inclusion and social cohesion form important planks of the development thrust of the Granger administration. Education is a third element that, when joined with the other two planks, increases the chance that Guyana can be ready to deal with issues of economic growth and the global interplay of sustainable development. Bringing three of the critical pillars of development together is a formidable task, especially in a multiracial country like Guyana, and one that requires the application of a workable mechanism for this purpose.
