UG Berbice Campus donates books, materials to CPCE

Aug 25, 2012 News

The University of Guyana Berbice Campus in partnership with the Ruby’s Readers Project of North Carolina, USA, donated 27 boxes of books to the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) at a brief handing over ceremony at Turkeyen, on Thursday last.
According to Professor Daizal Samad, Director of the UGBC, this is yet another step in the ongoing partnership with the CPCE. The Berbice (Secondary) branch of CPCE has been based at the Johns Annex of UGBC for the last two years.
“Even as we grapple with ways to improve our CXC test scores, the alignment and cooperation between institutions of teacher education is essential, as ongoing improvements in teacher quality is one of the main keys in getting better results. At the same time, UGBC is involved in all aspects of life in Berbice and beyond.
As it continues its role in teacher preparation, UG Berbice Campus will use its resources to be a leader in improving education generally and CXC results in particular,” Professor Samad said.
He added: “Our expertise and resources are at the disposal of all schools and the Ministry of Education, regionally and nationally.”
Ms. Deborah Thomas, Principal of CPCE, said the donation of books and materials is much appreciated as the CPCE seeks to retool its learning resources.
The donation of materials includes books published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), which is a premier teacher training organization in the USA.  It also consists of teacher-training videos, novels, and other teacher-training resources.
The donation of books was secured from the Ruby’s Readers Project at the request of the UG Berbice Campus. Directors of the Ruby’s Readers Project, Dr. Jerry Jailall and Dr. Julie Jailall, said their project would continue its efforts to help the development of education in Guyana. UGBC’s Administrative Officer, Mr. David Cort, also praised the gesture during the simple ceremony.
