THE community of Perth Village in Mahaicony, Region 5 (Mahaica/Berbice), will soon benefit from a spanking new nursery school.
The existing nursery school is currently being housed in the lower flat of the Perth Burial Society building and the pupils and staff have been enduring inconveniences at this location especially in the aftermath of social events held in the upper flat of the building.

The new school is being built in its own compound at another part of the village. Regional Executive Officer (REO), Mr. Ovid Morrison disclosed that the new nursery school will accommodate approximately 60 children and staff. Funds to the tune of $25M for the construction of the new building to be executed by Memorex Enterprises will be provided by Central Government. The building will have a number of school-friendly features such as a restroom, head teacher’s office, wash rooms, staff room among other amenities.

Morrison disclosed that the Regional Administration has already installed a culvert at the entrance of the site which is to be fenced. The contractor, he disclosed, is in the process of mobilising materials and work should begin before year-end. The work has a three- month deadline.
