AFC lambastes govt over hinterland kindergarteners using pit latrines

– lack of internet access for students

Fiery criticisms rained from the Alliance for Change (AFC) on Saturday against the government’s lapsed developmental plans for indigenous education. The party highlighted that despite Guyana being the fastest growing economy, students from as young as five years old are still forced to use pit latrines and lack access to proper sanitation.

And given that the government boasts that substantial income is acquired through carbon credit revenues, former Amerindian People’s Association head turned AFC Executive Laura George lamented that both children and adults continue to suffer and are not part of the planning for the biased distribution of that money.
