Thousands of students decked out in their new uniforms, bags and shoes were on the first day of the school term greeted with the absence of teachers, and in some cases closed school doors and padlocked gates, as they made their way to school for the beginning of the new school year.
This was the scene at many public schools, even as the Education Ministry continues to face the full wrath of the Guyana Teachers Union (GTU), whose members gathered in their hundreds outside the Education Ministry’s Brickdam, Georgetown office as they continued to call for a ‘livable income’.
The scene was no different across the country in other regions.
