Guyanese sculptor and former administrator of the E R Burrowes School of Art Ian Ivor Thom has been contacted by the government and asked to resume his duties following his resignation earlier this month.
Stabroek News understands that Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo contacted Thom and asked him to resume his duties as administrator after his resignation that was triggered by an altercation followed by a meeting at the office of Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Charles Ramson. According to reports, Thom had said that he felt disrespected and subsequently resigned.
Contacted, Thom told Stabroek News on Sunday that while he was asked to return to the job, he was mulling that decision. He further stated that his family would be consulted first and further that any decision would be made in favour of his students.
