“The ribbon cutting to the new Cotton Field Nursery School.”

It is believed that the delivery of nursery education within the Pomeroon/Supenaam region has undergone significant improvement. The commissioning of the Cotton Field Nursery School, yesterday highlighted this fact.
This modern building, which will aid tremendously in fostering learning, was commissioned and declared open by the Regional Executive Officer of Region Two, Denis Jaikaran.
The overview of the project was given by the School’s head teacher, Ms. Reshonna Welcome, who expressed gratitude to the Regional Democratic Council and the Government of Guyana for implementing the project.
Ms. Welcome explained that enrollment has increased over the years and the need for an expansion was necessary. She said that in 2017, the school’s enrollment was 58. In 2018 and 2019 the enrollments climbed to 71 and 75.

“The $20 million School.”

“The Cotton Field Nursery School for a number of years was housed in a building that was uncomfortable. Some of the reasons were that the building was very low, which was a major contributory factor for it being hot and making learning and teaching ineffective. There were numerous sanitary problems.”
Miss Nichola Matthews, who is currently acting in the capacity of the Regional Education Officer [REDO], said that the expansion of the Cotton Field Nursery was a priority for the Department of Education.
She added that the $20 million expansion of the school was integral, since space and a child friendly environment aids significantly in learning.
The REO, Mr. Denis Jaikaran, also pointed out that the nation’s investment in its young population is most important.
“Today we are witnessing the commissioning of an important institution that will carry our children to where they want to go. The nursery education programme will provide an opportunity to give the intellectual background, and create the capacity within our children.”
The REO also noted that teachers who are engaged in delivering the nursery curriculum must be credited for their efforts.
