Three hundred and seventy-seven teachers graduated from the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) on Friday and heard President David Granger say that Guyana is on the verge of a massive transformative process which will see an ‘education nation’, a ‘green’, ‘digital’ and petroleum producing state.
“Guyana will be unrecognizable twenty years from now. A ‘new nation’ will emerge within the next two decades,” the President said, according to a release from the Ministry of the Presidency. He was delivering his feature address at the 85th graduation exercise of the CPCE at the National Cultural Centre on Friday.
“Teachers will be expected to become the engine to drive the ‘education nation’. They will propel economic transformation. They will nurture present and future generations and equip them with the skills needed for transformational change. Teachers are the sinews of the country’s education system,” the caretaker President said.
