Education is generally regarded as a basic requirement for the socio-economic transformation and advancement of societies. It is a prime ingredient in human resource development and the overall development of a nation. This is well recognised by the Government of Guyana and education reform exercises are therefore a regular feature of the Government’s development agenda.
The Ministry of Education (MOE) is dedicated to ensuring that all citizens of Guyana, regardless of age, race, gender, creed, physical or mental disability, or socio-economic status are given the best possible opportunity to achieve their full potential. This is being achieved through equal access to quality education as defined by the standards and norms outlined by the Ministry. The commitment to quality and equity in education with no barriers in access to anyone is clear in this declaration.
It has been a pleasure for me and my board to be associated with Maharani Lakshmi Ammanni College for Women. We play a constructive role in building an institution that in turn can be the torchbearer for the future generations – an institution that can hold out hope and serve the needy through commitment and innovation.
