President Donald Ramotar stressed that the current administration’s investment in the Guyanese people, via social sector initiatives, is the manifestation of a long-standing principle of the ruling People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) – development with a human face.
“In the final analysis, the most important factor of development is the people of our country…education underpins everything,” he told hundreds of Region 7 (Cuyuni/ Mazaruni) residents at the Bartica Community Ground.
According to him, the current administration continues to act on the principle of development with a human face as a way to ensure equal opportunity for all Guyanese children.
