Sixth-form students at West Demerara Secondary School in Region Three are set to benefit from the addition of a new $27 million two-storey building which features five large classrooms and other essential amenities and will create a spacious environment for some 150 sixth-form students, a Department of Public Information (DPI) release stated yesterday.
It informed that currently, 33 students are enrolled in Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) studies at the school, which offers a variety of subjects, including Economics, Physical Education, Communication Studies, Law, and Integrated Mathematics.
Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, who spoke at the commissioning ceremony yesterday, said the upgrade is part of the government’s broader plan to ensure all schools are equipped with the necessary facilities for students to excel.
