Mabaruma : The ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) took its campaign to Mabaruma, Region one, telling residents of its “unmatched” track record of development in Amerindian communities.
The basic rights that many Amerindians were denied and the opportunities that they were afforded under the current regime were highlighted at an open air public meeting held in the community.
Ramotar said that the latter achievement is testimony to the investments government has been making in education in Amerindian communities, achieving the goal of universal access to primary education and narrowing the gap at the secondary level.
“Our children in the interior are now beginning, not only to catch up but in some cases, to even outpace children on the coast,” Ramotar said, describing as criminal circumstances in the past that resulted in only 30 of children entering secondary school.
