Right now there is need to erase the hate which has led to so much destruction in recent days. From the education point of view it has affected school children and the education system in some ways. The School's Systems Management Committee has had to postpone indefinitely its statutory meeting which was due to be held at Fort Wellington in Region Five because of the unrest and insecurity. To remedy this situation the two main political parties need to get down to the business of finding a way out of this problem and they need to expedite this process urgently in the interest of the nation. School will reopen next Tuesday and I expect it will affect children's attendance at school.
Many children travel to the city to attend school and they travel unaccompanied.
Parents will be uneasy with such a situation. However, the fact is that we cannot do without one another. At the moment it is not affecting the Rupununi at least as the area is basically self-sufficient and what people cannot get from Georgetown they get from Brazil. However, I think that what I see in Georgetown is alarming and to bring back some semblance of order there needs to be talks among the two main parties.
