Prince posted:Granger was right to say the youths of Guyana belong in school
The government should take initiatives to provide adult education throughout Guyana and encourage the youths, mothers, fathers, and school dropouts to uplift their education standards. This makes Guyana look worst than I once thought.
Guyana has a wide divergence is who gets an education and those who don’t. A class system has developed where those with money send kids to private school or few elite schools. The rest are left to scrounge.
Many kids migrating today end up in remedial education. In the past, kids from Guyana, even the most remote schools, were competitive here and many times even skipped levels.
We work in this field in Guyana and was surprised at the high rate of functional illiteracy we encountered. But you could not say anything to the Gov’t, dem ready fuh buse yuh down and throw the foreign thing in your face!
