Staff of the Company Road Primary School and officials of the Ministry of Education, led by Deputy Chief Education Officer (Administration), Mrs. Tiffany Harvey and Regional Education Officer for Demerara-Mahaica, Ms. Keane Adams, turned the sod for the reconstruction of Company Road Primary School at Buxton, East Coast Demerara, on Saturday morning.
This comes following a request made by the parents and school’s teachers and administration as a result of overcrowding and internal structural issues that aren’t conducive to learning.
Some 300 pupils from the Buxton Company Road catchment area are expected to benefit.
The contract for the reconstruction of the school was awarded to R&J construction through a competitive bidding process in accordance with the National Procurement and Tender Board Administration’s Public Procurement Act.
Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, expressed her happiness over this development while noting that every school that needs to be rehabilitated or rebuilt will be so done over the next five years (Ministry of Education press release)
