[www.inewsguyana.com] – The Ministry of Education continued the disbursement of the Government of Guyana $10,000 cash grants in Moruca, Region 1 on Monday, October 13.

According to the Education Ministry, hundreds of parents waited patiently at Santa Rosa Secondary School to collect the much anticipated government assistance, designed to ease the burden of the average household in preparing their children for school.

Schools that benefitted from the more than $12 million given in a cluster included Santa Rosa Nursery, Santa Rosa Primary, Santa Rosa Secondary, Ko-Ko Nursery and Parakeese Nursery.

Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand told the parents, “The PPP/Civic believes that education is the only sure way to improve one’s life, one’s family and one’s community. As a government the PPP/c has consistently matched this with solid investments in the education sector over the years. This initiative is yet further evidence of a government that cares for all the people of Guyana.”
