(Kaieteur News) – The Ministry of Education has received 13 bids for the construction of a Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE) Centre at Charity, Region Two.
The National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) office said the bids ranged between $87 million and $113 million.
Minister of Education Sonia Parag, during an engagement with headteachers in Region Two in April announced plans to establish a teachers’ training college branch in the region.
The education ministry in a statement at the time reported that $45 million was allocated in the 2026 budget to kickstart the project, which will specifically serve educators in the Pomeroon River and other nearby remote communities.
The ministry stated that the initiative will ensure that professional development is accessible to teachers residing in hard-to-reach areas, ending an era where they were forced to leave their homes and families to gain certification.
Addressing headteachers Minister Parag emphasised that the facility is a fundamental step towards national educational equity.
The minister further underscored that the project is about “quality education and quality delivery in the classroom,” noting that investing in professional growth ultimately translates into better outcomes for the nation’s children.
The ministry disclosed that once completed, the new, modern facility will feature a dedicated classroom block, staff offices, a kitchen area and washroom facilities, all housed within an elevated, ridge-and-beam structure.
“This new facility will aid the government’s mission to move the national percentage of trained teachers from over 90 per cent to a perfect 100 per cent,” the ministry stated.
