The Government intends to distribute 200,000 uniforms to Nursery, Primary and Secondary School children across the country, Head of the Presidential Secretariat Dr Roger Luncheon announced Thursday.
The uniforms would be available for use in the new school year, which starts in September, Luncheon said.
Before, the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security took the lead in the uniform distribution programme, but now the Ministry of Education would be more integrally involved.
This year’s school uniform distribution programme would take into account the experiences of previous years.
Adding to uniform distribution, President Bharrat Jagdeo in his New Year’s address said the government is keenly aware that sustained concentration within the classroom maximises learning.
Cognizant also that good nutrition plays an important role in improving concentration, he had announced that the government would be spending some $800M on a countrywide school- feeding programme.
This is all part of the government’s efforts to improve performance within the educational system.
