As the government seeks to increase the number of trained teachers in Region Eight, the Ministry of Education, through the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), on February 21 relaunched the Teachers Upgrading Programme at the Paramakatoi Secondary School, North Pakaraimas.
“We want to see all our people have the good life through education…A quality education will allow all of us to take our rightful place as part of the education and unification process of Guyana,” Minister Nicolette Henry was quoted as saying, in a press release from the Ministry of Education (MoE). The minister also pointed out that the Ministry wanted to remove from the equation the long distance travelling teachers in the region would have to make, in order to get the Trained Teacher’s Certificate. Henry noted that she is looking forward to sustained improvements and great results.
