“Our Government is proud of our children, as their hard work continues to showcase the best Guyana has to offer. This Government is committed to ensuring that our children gain access to higher, quality education and opportunities as they move on to become the future leaders of Guyana,” Phillips said.
The Prime Minister told the Graham’s Hall Primary School during their 2022 Graduation and Closing Exercise, which was held thursday at the National Cultural Centre, “Set solid and clear goals and stick to them.”
He continued, “Find a healthy balance between your work and leisure. But more than anything, press on.”
