Essequibo schools mount science fair

Mar 14, 2010 News

The knowledge of students from 24 schools across the region was further stimulated by the biennial Science and Mathematics fair, held in the auditorium of the Cotton Field Secondary School on Friday.

The fair which was hosted by the Region Two Department of Education, attracted heads of department from the Nursery, Primary and Secondary schools.

Also attending were both teachers and students, the Regional Education Officer, Mrs. Sandra Smith; Deputy Regional Executive Officer Devanand Ramdatt; and Co-ordinator of NCERD, Miss Petal Jettoo.

Mrs. Smith called on teachers to promote the advancement of technology and not to sit pretty, not knowing much.

One cannot have technology without Science and thus children should be encouraged to be broad-based in their training, she said she also reminded the audience that to date advanced technological equipment are been facilitated into almost every school.

Teacher and National Science Co-ordinator attached to NCERD, Miss Jetoo, defined Science as measuring our observations through Science. She further noted too that Science is also about asking questions.

In the oral category, Riverstown Primary and Reliance Nursery were awarded the best prize, while both Adventure Nursery and Suddie copped first in the display categories.

The Anna Regina Secondary copped first prize, followed by the Aurora, and Abram Zuil Secondary School in the overall categories for the Upper Secondary Schools.

In the lower category, Johanna Cecilia, Charity Secondary and the Eighth of May Secondary received prizes. The fair was held under the theme ‘Science, Mathematics, and Technology for global energy management.’
