Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand Thursday handed over grants for the UNESCO participating programmes 2022/2023.

The handing-over ceremony was done in the Ministry of Education’s boardroom.

The two projects being funded are the University of Guyana, Faculty of Education and Humanities’ ‘Reintroduction of the Post-Graduate Diploma in Translation (Study Grants)’ and Merundoi Incorporated’s ‘Youth Slam Climate Change’.

The University was granted USD $25,000. The grant was collected by the Dean of the Faculty of Education and Humanities, Dr Roslin Khan.  The objective of the institution’s initiative is to develop persons with expertise in translation skills to facilitate effective communication between Guyana, neighbouring countries, and those who speak other languages. A cadre of skilled translators will be produced to serve the needs of the country.
