Large amount of protective gear...
Lyng Streets, Charlestown, Georgetown.
Speaking on behalf of the Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, King expressed gratitude for the timely donation. He stated that the items will complement the efforts the Ministry is making to ensure students, teachers and other staff are safe as schools reopen.
“We want to make sure that all schools are given enough protective gears so that the learners, teachers and cleaners can be protected while they deliver education.”
According to the release, the distribution of the items will start in hinterland schools before being moved to the coast and Georgetown.
“Most of our schools in and around Georgetown and in other regions, we’ve already given some amount of protective gears. So, this will complement what is needed in the school system, at least for maybe the long-term replacing what is already here in the system, but we would have already provided a whole lot and this will help, ensuring we can place replacements.”
