A Computer Learning Resource Centre was commissioned yesterday at the Kimbia Primary School.
A release from the Ministry of Education said that the project was a collaborative effort between the Rotaract Club of Georgetown Central and the Rotary Clubs of Georgetown Central, Stabroek and New Amsterdam.
It said that the project was the brainchild of President of the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central, William Andrew Boyle who comes from the village of Kimbia located along the Berbice River and is also a past student of the Kimbia Primary School.
According to Boyle, after being awarded the Anthony Sabga Award last year, he made a commitment to assist his alma mater. Commissioning the Centre was Minister of Education, Dr. Nicolette Henry who said that the facility will create technological opportunities for the residents in Kimbia and assist the Ministry of Education to bridge gaps created mainly by geographical locations.
Following the commissioning ceremony, a scholarship and a bursary were presented to the top student of the Kimbia Primary School at this year’s National Grade Six Assessment, Corwin Agard, the release said.
