Education Ministry to use World Bank loan to procure agri. equipment for E’bo Technical Institute

Mar 01, 2025 News

Kaieteur News- The government through the Ministry of Education is preparing to utilize a portion of a World Bank loan to procure agriculture machinery and equipment for the Essequibo Technical Institute (ETI) in Region Two.

This is according to a request for bids issued by the Education Ministry for the procurement, supply and delivery of the equipment.

According to the tender document, the government received financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the Guyana Strengthening Human Capital through Education Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contract.

The ETI located at Anna Regina, is an institute that equips individuals with vocational, technical, and engineering skills and prepares them for job opportunities. Among the programmes offered at the Technical Institute are Agricultural Machinery, Electrical Installation, Welding and Fabrication, Furniture Making, and Heavy-Duty Equipment Operation.

Kaieteur News had reported that in August 2022, the government signed a US$44 million loan agreement with the World Bank through that project title.

The project focuses on the expansion of access to quality education at the secondary level and improving technical and vocational training (TVET). The project will support the piloting and national rollout of a new curriculum for Grades Seven to Nine and finance textbooks for Grades Seven to Eleven. It will also see the development of a new TVET sector policy for 2022-2030 and improve the delivery of TVET at secondary and post-secondary institutions.
