– Former GTU President Mark Lyte fires up crowd at Albion rally, says Guyana is on an unstoppable path under President Ali

IN a thunderous opening to the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) rally at Albion, Region Six, former President of the Guyana Teachers’ Union, Dr Mark Lyte, lit up the podium with a fiery declaration that Guyana is charging forward under the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) and it must not stop now.

“With over 30 years in education, I can tell you without hesitation, the education sector has never seen this level of growth,” Lyte proclaimed to roaring applause from the sea of red-clad supporters.

Standing beneath the blazing Berbice sun, Lyte didn’t mince words. He called on Guyanese across the country to rally behind President Dr. Irfaan Ali for a second term, warning that the unprecedented pace of development must not be allowed to falter.

“When we look across Guyana, we can see with our eyes development in every sector, development in every area,” he said, his voice rising above chants and cheers from the mammoth crowd.

Declaring his readiness to serve, Lyte pointed out the massive developments that have been recorded in the country’s education sector.

He noted that while the infrastructure is being put in place, simultaneous investments are being made in the country’s educators.

“We have seen teachers throughout the length and breadth of Guyana, which embraces equity and diversity in the education spectrum, and I want to say that this progress is something that we need to build on, and the PPP/C is saying, forward together for a better Guyana,” Lyte said.

He noted that in every sector there has been progress. He used the opportunity to make a rallying call to those present and those listening from other locations, to cast their ballots in favour of the PPP/C.

“Some persons are saying that we are only seeing roads, but I would like for them to take the scales off their eyes, because this development goes beyond roads. Let us talk about education. As an educator for over three decades, I can tell you that the education sector has never seen the kind of growth we have experienced in the last five years,” Lyte stated.
