Dear Editor,
After reading Peeping Tom’s column in Sunday’s KN, he mentioned a few problems that need to be addressed that, if corrected, would result in better education for children across the country.
The shortage of experienced teachers can easily be addressed by removing compulsory retirement forced upon teachers and other public servants, while enticing the well-experienced retired ones to come back with lucrative financial incentives. There should be one curriculum countrywide that all students are taught and tested against, so as to ensure they are all given the same quality of education. All schools need to be provided with adequate tools, textbooks and learning aids to ensure no school is deprived.
Finally, every teacher needs to be certified and governed by a Ministry of Education, “College or Institution” that governs their practice and mandates training, Code of Conduct, examinations and standards. Failure to adhere to standards set out by the “College or Institution” results in discipline, suspension and even termination.
Only then can you have high quality, country wide education for Guyana’s school children.
