Addressing 424 scholarship recipients for 2023/2024 at the National Culture Centre yesterday, Public Service Minister Sonia Parag emphasised that the programme aims to empower Guyanese with the necessary skills and qualifications to excel in their chosen fields.
“The areas that we have advertised for scholarships have been selected by the ministry based on an unofficial needs assessment that was done with the various ministries and agencies to identify areas within which they want to build their human resource capacity. One of the mandates of the Ministry of Public Service is to provide the human resource capacity for the public sector,” Parag said, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
