Huradiah Village to get $599M primary school
Kaieteur News – The Amerindian village of Huradiah in Region One will soon get a primary school building of its own, which will be built at an estimated price of $599,973,900.
The Ministry of Education project which opened recently at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office, saw 12 contractors submitting bids for the contract. Kaieteur News understands that the plan to build a primary school there was announced back in 2023, when Minister of Education Priya Manickchand held a consultation with the residents.
It was reported by the Department of Public Information at the time that following a consultation with residents of Huradiah village, Moruca Sub region, a new primary school will be built in the community which will cater for 250 pupils. To receive an education, pupils in the village travel across the Moruca River to attend the Santa Rosa Primary School, which is currently overcrowded.
Some ten acres of land were made available for the construction of the school. Pupils from the villages of Huradiah, Cabrora, Acquero and Rincon will benefit from this new school, it was reported. As reported previously, the ministry had pledged that they will build and repair schools where needed, to ensure children have access and a comfortable environment for learning.
