On Monday, Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, officially turned the sod to mark the start of the construction of a new nursery school in the hinterland community of Rockstone, Region 10.
A release yesterday from the Ministry of Education said that the new nursery school will be constructed by Ele’s Trading & Hardware. The project, valued at $52,180,950, will be completed within six months.
To facilitate the start of this project, a mobilization amount of $15,654,285 has already been allocated. Once completed, the nursery school will benefit approximately 150 children from Rockstone and its surrounding areas.
Speaking at the sod-turning ceremony, Manickchand emphasized the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure that every child, regardless of their geographic location, has access to quality education.
“The construction of this new nursery school is more than just a building; it represents our unwavering commitment to the future of our children and the development of our country. Education is the foundation upon which we build a brighter future, and we are ensuring that every child in Guyana has that opportunity,” Manickchand stated.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
