Reply to "A sad day for Guyanese youths"

Dear Editor,
The rise of illiteracy in Guyana can be observed daily. I travel to Georgetown about four times a week and other parts of the country and I observe that more than 40% of our young people are street corner and market vendors. Most are school dropouts and illiterates.
On my way to Georgetown last week, I saw a very young teenage girl selling water in the middle of the road. This young lady about fifteen years old, who ought to be in school, was risking her life in the middle of the road selling bottles of water to earn a living. As I traveled another few blocks down the road, I counted about ten more boys and girls as young as ten years old selling water.
