A DECISION on whether photocopying of textbooks will be prohibited, or retained will be announced to the public shortly, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr. Roger Luncheon told media operatives yesterday, at a post-Cabinet briefing at Office of the President.

The HPS gave the assurance that efforts are continuing to find an amicable solution to the matter. The resort of the Administration to make these text books available to the students in Guyana is still being pursued but these engagements have now been influenced by two important occurrences, he said.
Thus far, the publishers and their representatives have expressed their willingness to engage the Guyana Government with the aim of finding an amicable solution to the issue and the way forward.
“This engagement continues and information is being mutually shared about the concerns, and desires of both sides. I am pretty certain that we ought to be able to provide  Guyanese soon with the outcome of those engagements with the representatives of the publishers and editors,” Dr. Luncheon told reporters.
