Kaieteur News understands that the dormitory will cater for students from villages neighbouring Issano Landing, who will be attending the school.
Issano Landing is a mining community located in the Middle Mazaruni. The Ministry of Education recently issued a tender, seeking bids to build the first secondary school there.
Kaieteur News understands that when that school is completed, students from Isseneru and Kangaruma villages will be accommodated there. Currently, secondary-aged children have to travel long distances to attend school in Bartica.
Meanwhile, it was reported that over 16 secondary schools are being built in the hinterland. This newspaper understands that the identified communities do not have secondary schools, but primary top schools.
This year, the Ministry of Education was allocated $74.4B, a portion of which is being used for the construction, rehabilitation, extension and maintenance of education educational facilities.
