THE Ministry of Education has officially welcomed teachers and students back to schools on Monday, 8th September, 2025, marking the start of the 2025/2026 academic year.
The Ministry extended its best wishes for a successful Christmas term to parents, teachers, and students, with special recognition for those attending nursery, primary, and secondary schools for the first time.

Ahead of the new school year, the Ministry undertook extensive efforts to ensure that schools were ready for re-opening.
Many institutions across the country underwent thorough cleaning, repairs, and maintenance, including painting classrooms, fixing furniture, repairing roofs, and ensuring sanitation facilities were fully operational. These measures were aimed at providing a safe and conducive learning environment for students and staff alike.

In addition to maintenance, the Ministry emphasised the importance of hygiene and health protocols as students returned to classrooms.
Officials noted that the initiatives are part of ongoing efforts to improve the overall quality of education and school infrastructure in Guyana.

Education authorities also highlighted plans to continue supporting teachers with professional development programmes and resources, ensuring that the academic year begins smoothly and successfully.

The Ministry of Education encouraged parents to remain engaged in their children’s learning and expressed confidence that students will have a productive and rewarding academic year.
