Guyana carts off Regional Awards at CSEC , CAPE

Jan 27, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – Congratulations to those students who have won the Caribbean CSEC\CAPE awards publicised in the press. The question arises once again however, if alone these achievements reflect the quality of our education system. While there is passing reference to the schools the awardees would have attended, prominent only are reports of interviews conducted about individual performances – quite unrelated to the teaching teams so persistently ignored, by all concerned.
How is this indifference explained? Why are the efforts of the teachers who guide and support so constipatively ignored year after year?
The student themselves must wonder, and indeed ponder, what value would they be accorded in their turn as teachers?
In the meantime, should not the productive schools be formally acknowledged for their performance? Incidentally would future licenced teachers be attached to unlicenced schools?
Even their own Guyana Teachers Union should offer certified congratulations.

E. B. John
