Barbados had 17% with university degrees and 11% with other post secondary education.
Meaning that just under 30% of all Barbadians have completed some form of post secondary education, vs. less than 11% of Guyanese. Antigua, which does NOT have a university available to locals (it does have off shore medical schools for Americans), has 22% with some sort of post secondary education.
Note that the PPP had been in power for 20 years when the 2012 census had been completed.
Druggie as you can see from the beginning I was referring to post secondary school education. Only 8% of Guyanese had a college degree in 2012.
Then you may continue this discussion with yourself as the premise of my argument was that Guyana economy is not conducive to supplying jobs to those with academic aspirations, BA,BS and above.
