New $52M Nursery School for Rockstone

Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, on Monday held the official sod-turning ceremony heralding commencement of the construction of a new nursery school in the hinterland community of Rockstone, Region 10.
The new nursery school, to be built by Ele’s Trading & Hardware, is valued at G$52,180,950 and is expected to be completed within six months. The government has already allocated a mobilisation amount of G$15,654,285 to facilitate the start of this vital infrastructure project. Once completed, the facility will benefit approximately 150 children from Rockstone and surrounding areas, offering them a safe and conducive learning environment during their formative years.
Minister Manickchand, speaking at the ceremony, emphasised the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure that every child in Guyana, regardless of geographic location, has access to quality education. She underscored that the construction of this nursery school is a testament to the Ministry of Education’s dedication to bridging the educational gap in hinterland communities.
“The construction of this new nursery school is more than just a building; it represents our unwavering commitment to the future of our children and the development of our country. Education is the foundation upon which we build a brighter future, and we are ensuring that every child in Guyana has that opportunity,” stated Minister Manickchand. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
