And it is for us, something we take very seriously and something that we take a joy in doing for our children. The children, as you would have heard many times before, you are the future. But not just the future and any future, we want for our children of Guyana, we want the best future. Therefore, we are working to provide you with the best opportunities,” Minister McCoy explained.
