THE New Guyana School in collaboration with Mr. E.A. De Armas-Mitchell hosted a workshop on leadership and management in the school’s compound in Brickdam, Georgetown.
A release from the workshop said that the workshop was intended to: – improve participants’ ability to plan activities in such a way that they will make better use of the opportunities and resources available to them.
–  better prepare participants to organise their businesses more efficiently in order to save time, improve productivity, and increase profits.
–   provide them with the skills necessary to hire the right people as well as to manage and motivate them to produce win-win outcomes for themselves and the businesses.
–  help managers, supervisors, and owners of businesses to become the great leaders Guyana needs in order to take its right place among the developed and prosperous nations of the world.

The release also noted that since Aristotle philosophers, psychologists and educationists such as John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Paulo Freire, and David Kolb have confirmed that the experiential learning process embodied in the workshop methodology is one of the most efficient educational tool. This is why in advanced societies such as Canada, USA, and Great Britain, there is an abundant amount of work-study programmes where participants learn theories or abstract concepts and get the opportunity to apply them in a practical way simultaneously.
