Instead of criticizing, what would you suggest? What direction should education in Guyana take?

Let's be fair. In other group photos the government was justly criticized for paying attention only to Afros. But in the Leonora photo above I notice plenty Indos. That's progress. I'm sure these youths are glad for the skills training.

Agreed.  You start with the simple, NEEDFUL things first. When will these kids practice what they learnt in Guyana.  Watch them all run away overseas where they can use the skills they learnt here.

Let me ask you the same question I asked Seignet. What would you suggest? Before you answer that, let me also ask you this. The contracts with Exxon were signed years ago before this administration. What initiatives were proposed then to start preparing Guyanese for jobs in the oil industry? Now, we are caught with out thumbs up our asses and Exxon has every excuse to hire Guyanese only for manual labor.

I think cussbird Seignet and Alena are not necessarily disagreeing with the robotics thingie, but there are more BASIC areas to be focused on first. Our system of education is broken and producing dunces. A far cry from our days when we went to school there. Can we get that fixed first?

Can we get the blackout situation under control and cheap, reliable electricity before we start talking about robots?

These clowns still need the "imperialist powers" to oversee elections. SMFH

Also agree with your point to train people with an eye toward the future. BOTH need to be done. The PPP and PNC just like to blabber shyte. Neither has done anything to even supply basic infrastructure. They destroyed what the British gave them, all the while thumping their chests and proclaiming how smart  they are and defeated "imperialist" powers.

I asked them both to suggest where they thought Education should be directed. All I get is "basic" and "needful". By the way, the system of education worsened under the PPP. In our day, we could expect at least a basic education and write exams for scholarships to good high schools etc. In order to get a decent education now, my friends in Guyana are sending their children to private schools and those who can't afford private schools have to send their children to "lessons" taught by the same teachers teaching them in school.

FYI, Guyana’s team performed remarkably well at last year’s international robotics competition in Washington DC against teams from all over the globe. It is essential that we educate our children in fields such as Computer Science and Robotics regardless of our power supply situation. That is a major problem that has to be resolved but it should in no way deter our kids from being educated with the tools they will need to take our country ahead in the future. This type of education has lifted the standard of living in India and many other poor countries where the electricity supply is not so reliable. If I had made power supply a problem, I would have been just another Dumbass like you. Instead I studied many nights with either a Kerosene lamp or a candle in the years when the electricity supply was much worse in Guyana.

Re: current standard of education. The other day I watched a series of YouTube videos titled WHAT DO YOU KNOW GUYANA. The presenter asked adults on the street questions like "How many regions in Guyana? What are the three main rivers? What is the national bird? Name three new towns. Spell Kaieteur Falls." To me the answers were disappointing. The respondents were in the 20s to 40s age wise. Most were pavement vendors.

The kids in Guyana and clever and innovative.  If taught correctly and given the means to apply their knowledge, they will accelerate and do well.  I don't know why we need to knock them for pushing beyond the basics. 

I have a nephew in NJ running an IT outfit in GT and he said they are actually good and bring value.  The problem, pickings are thin as the best eventually leave for Caricom, they go due to security and better options.

Kudos to the GoG for doing this!

As expected!  Most are school dropouts!

During one of my visits years ago, a question on Cuba came up in a discussion.  I was surprised, one young man asked me, "Cuba, dah wah wan nadda country nuh?"

Nothing wrong if the First Lady is doing this but the composition of the participants should be more reflective of Guyana's SIX races.

Kudos to the First Lady.

Gal told me the other day she never knew Leguan was an island. She thought when the boat left Parika and went to Leguan, that was the Essequibo coast. I then had to explain.

And here you were screaming that blacks had to thank Indos for Guyana not being Haiti.  Here Guyanese of all ethnicities have to flee to coral reefs and volcanic peaks, enduring hurricanes, and the occasional earthquake, in order to enjoy a decent living.

Have the decency to tell those Bajan and "small island" blacks thanks for running decent countries that provide refuge to Guyanese.

Of what relevance is that question?  I asked a question and if you don't have the answer there is no need for you to say anything.

Muneshwars.  How many senior managers are blacks?

We was doing well and expanding under the PPP.  Since 2015 he downsized as the business environment went South, crime went North and the people went helter-skelter!

Guyanese began to flee to Barbados and the small islands in huge droves after 2000.  This when Guyanese teachers found out that they could make MORE as a baby sitter in those islands that they could as teachers in Guyana.

The growth of the economy after 2007 came because of high gold prices and the multiplier impacts into the real estate and construction sectors.  It is known that many commercial buildings in GT are under utilized.

Lucky for Guyana that the PPP didn't control the gold sectors.  Given their track record with the Berbice Bridge (now technically bankrupt), Guysuco and the rice industry that would have been a disaster. 

The PPP admires Maduro.  Jagdeo screamed that Guyana should sell rice to Venezuela and here we see pictures of ordinary Venezuelans fighting with stray dogs to find food in the garbage dumps.

There is only one reason why you like Jagdeo.  He is Indian!

Listen, the opened ops in 2013 and was doing well. They grew and moved to bigger offices with about 30 staff.  He had expected to be at 100+ by now, but ran into speed bumps after the election.  He has scaled back to approx 20. 

Stop with you mad ass rants about bj, Maduro and all that shyte.  It’s irrelevant.

Privilized kids spend their summers overseas and attend camps. The village kids doan have that opportunity. Would not be surprised those that participated in Washington were students of private schools and private tutoring. I know a few students. 

This Dumbass escaped Guyana since 1967 and Burnham's mayhem. 

I think different, none of that baggage of a typical Guyanese.

Many of the students on last year's Robotics Team were from QC. Benschop's son was on the team last year and they are now preparing for this year's tournament. Nothing to do with private schools. Except for a few failures like the DumDum sisters, private schools cannot compete with the talent that QC churns out year after year.  

The reason for opening these ICT centers all over the country is to give the opportunity to children from various villages. Make them interested in the technology of the future and they will follow their dreams. 

You can take a Mudhead out of the backdam but you can't take the backdam out of him. If it were up to you, these children would be well equipped with a slate, a slide rule and an abacus just like you had many moons ago.

There is an old adage that says, "it's easy to soar like an Eagle when you're flying with Turkeys". In order for some of these "Eagles" here to feel better about themselves, the "Turkeys" are necessary for them to compare themselves to. Otherwise, in the real world, they are insignificant.
