President of the Guyana Teachers’ Union, Colin Bynoe, who was among the Awardees, congratulated the RHTY&SC for its continued investment in education and sports. Bynoe also called on Teachers across the Guyana to continue their good work as their main goals should be to prepare the students to become the future leaders of Guyana.
