@Former Member posted:I had 7 subjects GCE passed English and Mathematics(twice that should give me 9 subjects), and could not get a job at the primary school I attended. I saw black teachers who had fewer qualifications than I did being hired. It was not until I was steered to the head pastor of the Corentyne Church of Scotland Church, I was able to get a job there. The headmaster and deputy headmaster were black also. I got along great with the deputy headmaster, really nice man.
I knew the Minister of Education. It wasn't difficult for me... You just had bad luck. When Burnham took over in December 1964, Their Minister replaced all 800 Indo_guyanese Teachers that the Krishna Singh hired, with unqualified Afros.
