CONSTRUCTED with the latest technology and techniques, the Hosororo Secondary School in Region One (Barima- Waini) is anticipated to be the most advanced educational facility, not just in Guyana but also the entire Caribbean.
During a site visit, President Dr. Irfaan Ali on Monday told reporters that the Ministry of Education has incorporated the latest technology, techniques, and high-quality materials into the construction of this facility.
Works are moving at a fast pace, and once completed, the school will accommodate 1,000 students from areas currently lacking a secondary school in the hinterland region.

“This is perhaps going to be one of the most modern secondary school complex in not only all of Guyana, but in all of the Caribbean. This facility incorporates the latest technology, latest construction techniques, and highest quality material,” the Head of State said.
Education Minister Priya Manickchand said that with many secondary school students being housed at primary institutions, the new facility will provide a much more conducive learning environment for students at the secondary level in the area.
The complex will include not only classrooms and ‘labs’, but also accommodations for teachers, a dining area, and dormitories, creating a comprehensive educational environment.

“The school is going to hold 1,000 children; it’s going to take the children all out of the rivers, riverine areas that currently do not have a secondary school to go to. In fact, they go to the primary schools for their secondary education. But, as we go down, you’ll see it’s not just classrooms and ‘labs’ and other facilities for the children academically, but you will see teachers are being built,” the Education Minister said.

On Monday, the President also commissioned the North West Secondary School at Mabaruma.
During his remarks, he highlighted that the government has invested approximately $7 billion to enhance the delivery of education and training in Region One.
In a previous engagement, Minister Manickchand had highlighted that the government’s goal is not only to provide access, but also to guarantee a high standard of education, life-long learning opportunities, and rigorous monitoring and evaluation systems.

A significant part of this initiative includes the construction of 26 new secondary schools across the country, adding to the existing 117 secondary schools.
In addition to secondary schools, the ministry is also focusing on constructing new primary and nursery schools in underserved areas.

Efforts are underway to extend and rehabilitate existing schools to create comfortable and conducive learning environments.
This includes repairing ceilings, fences and washrooms, and ensuring proper plumbing and electricity in school facilities
