A week after what was recorded to be an historic election, school attendance is expected to return to normal. Last week, schools around Guyana had recorded very poor attendances as parents opted to keep their children home out of concerns for their safety.
With what was opined to be procrastinated elections results, there were some growing tension across the nation which had caused many business owners to keep their business doors shut, as others barely half opened their doors in case of any disruptions in their respective business areas.
When Kaieteur News visited a few city schools, the reports were all the same. The poor attendance was not limited to only public schools as there were also reports of occurrences at private schools.
However, with CXC/CAPE examinations which are in progress, Former Minister of Education Priya Manickchand along with the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ministry of Education, Suelle Williams, has said that there were no reports of any effects on the examinations.
Five days after the polling day; May 16 2015, Guyana’s 8th Executive President, David Arthur Granger was sworn in at Parliament Buildings with thousands in attendance.
A smooth transition is expected and the situation across the country is expected to normalize.
