Minister of Education Dr Nicolette Henry on Tuesday commissioned the newly constructed Golden Grove Secondary School.
According to a Ministry of Education (MoE) release, the school which is located on the East Coast of Demerara, some 15 miles from Georgetown was constructed by Ivor Allen Construction Services to the tune of $170 million.
In her address at the commissioning ceremony, the Education Minister said that the construction of every new school brings the country closer to the fulfilling of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.4 which states ‘by 2030, there should be a substantial increase in the number of youths and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship’.
