Dear Editor,
I must commend the Ministry of Education for closing all schools in the wake of the global epidemic which is coronavirus. It’s very important for us to be aware as a nation of the dangers surrounding this virus in schools for our children, teachers and the parents for these kids who will be picking them up from school.
The University of Guyana made a great decision to close its doors to stay clear of any spreading of this virus.
However, my concern is the school that my nephew is attending in Berbice (GuySuCo Training Centre) which is a live-in school for all students, which remains open in light of the current epidemic.
I made contact with my nephew and he said nothing was related to them and that they are doing their normal training. I am calling on the necessary authorities to look into this situation and say if this is a wise decision not to close the school with these kids.
All over the world, you can see schools closing just to be on the safe side. I am calling on GuySuCo to respond because those kids are at a risk.
Sincerely,
Concerned citizen
