The Guyana Prison Service (GPS) has partnered with the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) to launch the first-ever Prison Trade Instructor Training Program-me. The initiative, which was unveiled at the GPS Conference Room, intends to enhance the professional capacity of prison officers while supporting rehabilitation efforts for inmates. The first batch of trainees will include thirty officers.
The programme was specifically designed to strengthen technical and vocational education within the prison system, and will train prison officers who are already actively involved in prisoner education. Further, it will equip them with enhanced instructional skills. The programme seeks to transform the prison environment into one that promotes learning, rehabilitation, and reintegration.
