Guyanese sculptor, Ian Thom has resumed duties as administrator of the E R Burrowes School of Art after an intervention by a senior government official following an incident with Minister of Culture, Charles Ramson.

Thom told Stabroek News yesterday that while he was not offered an apology, he did not ask for one, but made a decision based on his relationship with the students at the school. He stated that he has a great team at the school that works hard to help the students achieve their goals. The administrator also recounted his journey at the school and his optimism about his students.

Thom highlighted that as he resumes office, there are some things, however, that he would not tolerate.
