“I believe that education is a passport to a better life…and I will encourage it until the day that I die.” By Mondale SmithThe name Donna Chapman is well known and celebrated in the education sector. Ms Chapman has under her belt many leading roles of molding the minds of not just students but many teachers across the regions of Guyana.“People see me as a straight jacket but I’m a stickler for quality and I believe that education is the passport to a better life…and I will seek to encourage it until the day I die,” she asserted during an interview.At age 55, some say she may best be described as a true Guyanese educator committed to the calling of molding minds at every level of the Guyanese society.After serving for only 11 years as a trained teacher at both the primary and secondary levels she began to serve the Ministry of Education in a different capacity as a subject specialist at the National Centre for Education Resources Development.“I believe that education is a passport to a better life and to me no one can truly enjoy a better life of progress in this global village without an education so I’m always thinking that with an education one can progress and I will encourage it until the day that I die.”Committed Educator, Ms Donna ChapmanSo good and dedicated is she to the ideals of ‘education molding a nation’ that Chapman once lectured at the University of Guyana before ultimately landing in the post to serve as Deputy Chief Education Officer with responsibility for Administration. In her words “With an education the sky becomes the limit to a world of possibilities.”Coming from the old school way of thinking, Chapman dedicated her life to teaching and education to the point that she never birthed any children as she believed that one should be married before becoming a biological mother.“While I have some regrets about not birthing a child of my own I celebrate the fact that I have served as a mother to many who now hold senior positions in major offices in and out of Guyana,” a smiling Chapman boasted.She lives by a code:? “challenges are mere bumps and one should never give up.”The first of her many bumps along life’s path to being an outstanding educator, she recalled, was as a student at the Christ Church Secondary School. “You see, I entered, I believe, in the fourth week of the Easter term and at the end of term examination I was almost last in the class,” Ms Chapman recounted with a big smile.This was because her family had moved from the Cove and John Police Station Compound to Agricola, Greater Georgetown thus she was transferred from Golden Grove Secondary. “However, I worked hard and made it in the top 10 of the class by the time the next exams come around,” she disclosed.At age 39, during her years in the office as an Assistant Chief Education Officer all the officers in the Unit that she supervised were older and some even labeled her ‘Ms. Perfect,’ but that did not dissuade her managing both programme and people for improved performance.Her advice to young people is, “remain focused, do not lose hope; even in failure there is a lesson to motivate and elevate yourself and others.”Ms Chapman at workTaking time out from her usually busy scheduleNone of her parents attended secondary school but they ensured that all of their children were motivated to complete their education all the way to the University level.Amidst her busy schedule Ms Chapman ensures there is time for bonding with family and friends which could be dinner, girls’ night, picnics, sisters’ weekend or any fun activity. She is not only a consummate educator but attends regularly and, at present, is a member of vestry at the Church of the Transfiguration.In fact at present Ms. Chapman wears the cap of co- convener of the fair committee for the church’s upcoming fair.Born in?Georgetown to a mother from Devonshire Castle, Essequibo Coast and a father from?Lichfield Village, West Coast Berbice, her young years were spent in areas such as Punt Trench in Albouystown, Essequibo, Eve Leary,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, Cove and John, Agricola and finally at Festival City.The career choice of teaching came naturally because?there are scores of teachers/ educators in her maternal family. However, Chapman was the only one from among her siblings who took on the job of teaching in her mother’s footsteps. “Mom retired as a Senior Mistress at Tucville Primary…”Chapman attended several schools, Kingston Methodist Primary, St. Andrew’s Primary?(Cove and John), Golden Grove Secondary and Christ Church Secondary because her father was?a Police Officer.In the company of other education officials during the recent observance of International Literacy Day.With a bubbly laughter she recalls her fondest memory as a school girl in Prep B at St. Lawrence Primary, Hampton Court, “I was selected to give a bouquet to Ms. Shirley Field Ridley the then Minister of Education.” Because of the
