Kaieteur News – The University of Guyana (UG) yesterday began its convocation for the academic year of 2019/2020.

The ceremony also saw students from the Turkeyen, Georgetown Campus and Tain, Berbice Campus graduating simultaneously. This year’s convocation is the 54th for the Turkeyen Campus and the 19th for the Tain Berbice Campus.
