Education Minister, Priya Manickchand has stated that the Ministry is insisting that all private schools follow the set curriculum so as to ensure that the students receive the required knowledge and skills they need.
She indicated that while she has not yet met the private school proprietors, it is expected that such entities would be of a standard that delivers education to the students in a manner that is internationally acceptable.
According to the Government Information Agency, in an effort to ensure that all private schools are on par with the vision of the Education Ministry, the Ministry under the oversight of previous Minister Shaik Baksh, had moved to have all private education providers registered.
A workshop was facilitated by the Ministry at which private education providers were engaged, and which focused on improving data flows from private schools to the Ministry of Education in a systematic way; thereby allowing the Ministry to keep track of the schools’ performance.
At that session it was realized that of the over 86 private schools from nursery to secondary in operation, only 27 were approved by the Ministry.
The main objective of engaging the private school operators was to get all private schools to meet the basic guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education, particularly as it relates to the curriculum used in the public schools and the delivery of quality education.
The curriculum guides can be accessed on the Ministry of Education’s website at www.education.gov.gy.
The new Education Legislation, which is currently before the Attorney General’s Chambers, comprehensively addresses issues governing the operation of private schools.
The legislation which embodies modern education reform requires all private schools to obtain a permit to operate. The permits are issued only if certain minimum requirements are met and the schools that are approved by the Ministry of Education will gain automatic permits to operate.
