ELEVEN students who successfully completed the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) were recently the recipients of bursary awards from the Guyana Rice Development Board (GRDB).

The students are from Regions Two, Three, Five and Six and are children of rice farmers.
Acting GRDB General Manager, Allison Peters, said the awardees were children of key players within the rice industry and the awards represent a gesture of the rice board which recognises the contributions of farmers made over the years.

“We value the contribution of your parents and guardians over the years in ensuring that the rice industry continues to record successes in all areas….This is just the beginning of your journey and I implore you to strive for higher heights in your academic success,” Peters said.

The award includes the payment of an allowance for five consecutive years to the awardees during their secondary school studies, a statement from the GRDB said Wednesday.
GRDB has been awarding successful candidates of the Grade Six examination since its establishment in 1995.
