EDUCATION Minister, Dr. Rupert Roopnaraine says that the scandalous sex tape made by students of a secondary school in Georgetown is absolutely “deploring” and “depressing”, and the Ministry is in the process of thoroughly investigating the matter. On Wednesday, two videos were being circulated on social media showing four students having sexual intercourse. The students were openly smiling to the camera as it recorded their escapade.
Meanwhile, a number of parents have been expressing their dissatisfaction over the incident, and citing the need for proper school supervision. Dr. Roopnaraine said, “We need to ensure our teachers are more thoroughly trained,” adding that more supervision will soon be allocated to the students during their recess time.
Speaking with the Guyana Chronicle yesterday, Dr. Roopnaraine said he was immensely shocked when he heard about this incident, and has tasked the Ministry with investigating the issue and will soon put an end to such outlawed actions being carried in the school system.
Recently during an interview with this publication, Dr. Roopnaraine disclosed that he will be plugging counsellors in all schools across Guyana to help in the school drop-out rate and in situations such as this sex tape scandal.
