(Kaieteur News) – The University of Guyana’s (UG) Early Childhood Centre of Excellence (ECCE) held its fourth graduation ceremony on Friday at the George Walcott Lecture Theatre, Turkeyen campus, celebrating 15 pre-school graduates and 20 graduates from the nursery level’s level-two class.
The occasion drew Vice Chancellor Professor Paloma Mohamed-Martin, ECCE Director Dr. Lidon Lashley, teachers, parents and university officials. Children performed music, song, dance and poetry during the ceremony.
In his director’s reflection, Dr. Lashley described the Centre as a childcare, teaching and research hub established to model best practice in early childhood pedagogy and safeguarding, and to build a curriculum responsive to diverse learners’ needs. He said UG-ECCE’s approach — combining student training, clinical practicum and research-based observation — is designed to foster a safe, respectful, nurturing environment that supports children’s social, physical, intellectual, creative, emotional and spiritual development.
