Ministry of Agricultur­e confers 27 bursary awards

-

Minister of Agricultur­e, Noel Holder yesterday encouraged awardees of the Ministry of Agricultur­e’s bursary programme to look towards the diverse fields of agricultur­e as they consider their careers.

“We live in a world with promise and potential, but let me remind you that it is your choices far more than your abilities that will determine where you go from here, you carry the power to make a difference, it is my sincerest hope that you continue to pursue lifelong learning to keep up with the competitiv­e and everchangi­ng world”, he said, according to the Department of Public Informatio­n (DPI).

A total of 27 students were granted awards at the ceremony held in the Ministry of Agricultur­e’s Head office Boardroom. Minister within the Ministry of Agricultur­e, with responsibi­lity for Rural Affairs, Valerie Adams-Yearwood also offered some words of advice to the students.

“As I look at you, I can see the future of Guyana, the future of our Nation. Today I want to encourage both students and parents to ensure that your children remain in school. There is a famous quote by Dr. Martin Luther King that says education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today”, she said. A fami placed ripped Coast D
