MoE Priority Programme Rolls out Golf in Region 2
Kaieteur Sports – Yesterday, the Ministry of Education Unit of Allied Arts Priority Programme in association with the Guyana Golf Association and Nexgen Golf Academy launched the sport as one of the five Priority Areas in Region Two, rolling out the implementation of golf coaches across the region’s Secondary schools.
Head of the Priority Programme Saeed Zameen met with the REDO and HM’s on Monday and fulfilled his commitment of having a sport coach in place immediately. “Honourable Minister Priya Manickchand has made it clear that the P in Physical Education stands for Physical and not just theory and golf is one of the sports that learners can engage in throughout the academic year.”
