Education Minister, Priya Manickchand today urged parents to not politicise their children’s education, as she reminded of their duty to act in the best interest of their children.
She made this comment during the Ministry of Education’s textbook distribution exercise, which commenced in Region Three Essequibo Islands-West Demerara this morning.
She underscored that it is important for each child to have their textbooks so they can achieve their full potential. She also reminded parents of the pivotal role they must play in ensuring their child’s academic success.
“Any child who is successful, and while you have some exceptions, the majority of them have parents who support them and note I didn’t say rich parents.”
Each primary school pupil in the public system will receive textbooks that cover the core subject areas, Mathematics, English Language, Science and Social Studies.
The Ministry of Education says it remains committed to ensuring that there is equitable access to educational resources to every pupil across Guyana.
