Kaieteur News understands that once completed the facility will provide a modern learning environment for 30 learners who are deaf while also serving as a resource hub for deaf youth, offering programs that foster inclusivity, personal development, and community engagement.

“With completion expected in just a few weeks, the new school represents a transformational milestone in Guyana’s education sector, delivering on the government’s promise to create inclusive, equitable, and empowering spaces for all learners,” the ministry related.
