Region 10 teachers rally through the streets of Linden

Teachers’ Week

Teachers and prospective teachers from across Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) on Friday took to the streets of Linden in the form of a grand rally in

honour of the current observance of Teachers’ Week and World Teachers’ Day 2019. Decked out in various unique costumes, hundreds of teachers and students from the Cyril Potter College of Education (CPCE), led by staff of the region’s Department of Education, jubilantly marched along Republic Avenue, Mackenzie, to the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground (MSC). The atmosphere was quite a festive one, as the teachers, who were drawn from nursery, primary and secondary schools, gyrated through the streets to the sounds of music.
Leading up to Friday’s rally, the teachers participated in several activities over the course of the week. A “cookout” exercise was hosted on Thursday which saw the participation of teachers from across Linden and the rest of the region. October 5 is set aside as World Teachers’ Day each year.
This year, World Teachers’ Day is being observed under the theme, “Young teachers, the future of professions”.
