– as trust fund announced for villagesOn Sunday, residents of Ann’s Grove and neighbouring communities, packed into the Ann’s Grove Secondary School to celebrate with Elisa Hamilton, her achievement at this year’s Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE).Hamilton secured five grade ones and one grade two passes at CAPE. She was honoured by her fellow villagers at the simple ceremony. Her achievement placed her among the country’s top CAPE performers.Also, in 2014,Cheap Jerseys, Hamilton secured 20 passes; 19 grade one and a grade two pass at Caribbean Secondary Examination Council (CSEC), making her the top Regional performer for that year.According to President David Granger, who spoke of the important role villages must play in educating the nation’s children,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, throughout the country, communities must strive to return to the days when they were all “cradles of democracy”.Over the years, the President noted, village economies have become weakened, moving away from being self-reliant.With the school dropout rates across the country alarming,Cheap NFL Jerseys, there is the need for every stakeholder in the society, including families and churches to play their role in ensuring that every child attends school.As part of his Government’s efforts to emphasise the important role villages play in nation building, the President announced that November 7 has been designated “National Day of Villages”.While this move seeks to give prominence to the role of villages, the President also announced another bold initiative, which will allow villages to be tangibly involved in providing support for the educational development of their young people.Proposing the name “Village Education Scholarship Trust”, the President said once this scheme is established in villages, they will each receive funding from the Government, so that the most vulnerable within these communities can be provided with support.The Head of State was, however, keen on noting that the proposed name does not necessarily have to be used by every village. What is more important is that there is accountability for the disbursement and management of the trust.The Head of State said that the initiative, like others rolled out by the new administration, will aid in ensuring equal access to educational opportunity.This latest addition will add to the existing “Three B’s”- boats, bicycle and buses initiative- which seeks to provide transportation for children to get to school.“We have to look after children. We have to make sure that they can get to school; in the first place, so that we produce not one… we need thousands and thousands of Elisas. Every village must be able to produce scholars of excellence, scholars of quality,” the President said.Equally important, the President said, is the need to break the cycle of “hereditary poverty” through education.“The way to do it is by removing inequalities and by giving every child opportunities… Forty years ago there were five top schools. There should be fifty. There should be a top school in every region. We have to expand. We have to enlarge the number of top schools in the country, so that every child in this country could have access to a top school,” President Granger said. The President, in his address to the large gathering, also underscored the role of religious bodies.The large gathering was also reminded of the importance of all Guyanese having access to the information and technology super highway, which the President says he deems as an entitlement. All these factors the President said are important if Guyana is to move forward and correct the educational deficits, as Guyana cannot move forward if its population is not educated.Meanwhile, congratulations were in order for Hamilton from the President as he lauded her efforts and that of the villagers who played a role in supporting her development and success. He called on Hamilton to see her achievement as an opportunity,Wholesale Jerseys Supply, rather than a victory as she leads the way for other youths in her village.“We are here to congratulate her. It is not easy to achieve what she has worked hard for, and she deserves to be rewarded and congratulated, but this is an opportunity. It is not victory,” the President said.Referencing Hamilton’s disappointment with the offer by the previous administration to apply for a scholarship to study in Guyana, China or Cuba, when it had initially been promised that the top CSEC and CAPE performers would be provided with scholarships to study at universities of their choice in any field, President Granger declared that promises must be kept. He indicated that this matter will be resolved by his administration.Also on the occasion, Hamilton thanked her parents
