Kaieteur News previously reported that Dora, a riverine community located along the Demerara River, does not have a secondary school building of its own.

However, there is a Dora Secondary School located in the Kuru Kuru Training Centre compound situated along the Linden-Soesdyke Highway, some miles away from the riverine community.

A primary school teacher from the community told Kaieteur News that because there is no secondary school in the Dora community, when students write the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) examination they, along with their parents, are forced to relocate from the community so that they can attend a secondary school.

The teacher said that for several years, the community has been advocating for a secondary school nearby to ease the burden placed on the children and their parents.

When completed the school will not only benefit Dora but neighbouring communities such as Low Wood and Susannah.
