Region One gets first SEND school as gov’t expands access to specialised education

The Government of Guyana continues to advance its commitment to inclusive and specialised education with the official opening of Region One’s first Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) school in Mabaruma.

The opening marks a significant milestone in expanding access to specialised educational services, ensuring that learners with diverse needs across the region are provided with greater opportunities to learn, develop and reach their full potential.

The facility is named in honour of Gertrude Ghanie, a former teacher whose unwavering dedication to education went beyond the call of duty. The tribute recognises her invaluable contribution to the sector and the lasting impact she made on the lives of learners across the region.
