Golden Grove to get new Secondary School, Nursery school for Mocha

During the opening of the Tenders at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), Ministry of Finance, Main Street, Georgetown yesterday, bids were opened for the construction of a Secondary School at Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara.

The construction of the new Secondary School, some may say, is long overdue. November 6, 2016 will mark 50 years since the school has been in existence.
Over the past few years, parents, teachers and students have complained bitterly about the deplorable condition of the school. In 2011, the then Minister of Education Shaik Baksh had bemoaned the poor state of the school and had contended that the Region Four Administration failed miserably with respect to executing critical repairs to the school. However, nothing was done to remedy the situation – until now of course.

The procuring entity was listed as the Ministry of Education. The engineer’s estimate was announced at $183.4M.

New Mocha Nursery School

Meanwhile, parents who have children attending the Mocha Arcadia Nursery School, will now be able to breathe a sigh of relief since tenders were opened for the construction of a new facility.

The school was shut done last April due to its appalling state. The school, which is located on New Settlers Street, Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara, was falling to pieces.

Recent reports have indicated that in 2013, the then People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration had promised to budget for the construction of a new nursery school but it never bore fruit.

The students were relocated to a building in the Primary School compound until the new building is completed. The School was in existence for almost four decades. The procuring entity for the project is listed as the Ministry of Education and the engineer’s estimate is $34.3M.
