The Education Ministry through its office of the Deputy Chief Education Officer (Technical), continues to prioritize equipping students with the necessary tools for hands-on learning.
On Tuesday, the TVET Unit supplied Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the newly established TVET Block at Queen’s College, marking a significant step in fostering practical skills development.
The PPE, including safety vests, gloves, hard hats, and goggles, is tailored to meet the needs of students participating in various technical courses. This effort reflects the Ministry’s focus on creating a safe and secure learning environment while enabling students to develop valuable technical skills.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Deputy Chief Education Officer (Technical), Dr. Ritesh Tularam, emphasized the importance of safety in technical education. He noted that as the education system evolves, prioritizing student safety during hands-on training is essential. The provision of PPE highlights the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring students are well-equipped and protected.
The TVET Block at Queen’s College, commissioned in October, offers students opportunities to explore technical fields, enhancing their readiness for careers in engineering, technology, and other industries. The addition of PPE strengthens the department’s ability to deliver high-quality, safe, and effective technical education.
This initiative is part of a broader national strategy by the Education Ministry to modernize and expand TVET facilities across Guyana, ensuring students have access to advanced resources and dynamic learning environments.
The Education Ministry remains dedicated to preparing Guyana’s youth for a competitive global workforce by fostering innovation, safety, and excellence in technical education.
