Noise pollution vs CSEC Maths and English scores

Sep 08, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

Reference is made to GHK Lall’s September 7, 2024, missive in your letter column, joining the chorus bemoaning the noise pollution that pervades Guyana but with specific reference to Region 3, especially Leonora, WCD. One may argue that alcohol consuming establishments / bars like these “create employment”.  But at what cost to the physical/mental health of the community? How about the welfare of the younger school age children who are the future of this country? How about the negative sociological impact on Leonora, as a microcosm of like situations existing throughout Guyana?

Recently, President Ali read the riot act to the Ministry of Education insisting that changes must be made to up the future CSEC percentages in Mathematics and English Language throughout Guyana, and those extra hours and AM teaching must, unswervingly, commence this very September term.  Again, using Leonora as an example, can this be truly achieved when the noise pollution, (among other variables) dilutes our children’s ability to concentrate in school after the nightly cacophony of noise thundering in their minds?

Applying the verifiable data and variables (physiological/sociological/ financial etc.) in a quantitative analyses model can enable the involved government agencies to evaluate, predict and act accordingly or issue compliant directives, with immediacy. Future qualitative analysis can help to understand, why, how or what are the consequences ( positive or negative) of the government’s action taken in the quantitative analysis stage and can serve as a pilot for future government action in the reduction of noise pollution thereby adding quality of life to our now and future generations. But, who will hold the tiger by its tail? Who will have the cerebral and intestinal fortitude to enforce the applicable laws?

Mr. President, you have been democratically elected, by the voting populace including the tax payers, to lead this country and all, including our younger generation, are dependent on your prudent decision making.

One Guyana!

Sincerely,

Jonathan Subrian, Esq.
