In January 2025, former Regional Chairperson, Vilma DeSilva told Kaieteur News that the new school is being constructed to accommodate an ever-increasing number of students.
“The existing one (school building) is very old it’s not feasible to repair. Also, the population is increasing,” DeSilva said.
Currently, there are 650 students attending the Cotton Field Secondary. While construction of the new school is ongoing, the students are being accommodated at the Anna Regina Multilateral School and will attend school via a shift system.
