The School of the Nations (SON) yesterday launched its Cambridge Certificate in Educational Leadership programme with a Caribbean Conference on Educational Leadership, which was attended by educators from across the country and around the world.

The conference, which ends today, is being hosted with the support of the Ministry of Education and the British High Commission. Dozens of teachers were in attendance as well as regional education administrative staff, the British High Commissioner Greg Quinn, representative of the Cambridge International Examinations Lucila Marquez and Director of National Centre for Education Resource Development (NCERD) Jennifer Cumberbatch.

The event inaugurated what is expected to be a four-month programme, SON’s Director Dr Brian O’Toole related yesterday. The certificate programme will also facilitate idea exchange with teachers from the United States, who through the organisation ‘Limited Resource Teacher Training,’ will be travelling to Guyana for a few weeks to work in the interior.
