Education in Guyana

Education is defined in its broadest general sense is the means through which aims and habits of a group of people live on from one generation to the next.
Education is  the formal process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills, customs and values from one generation to another (e.g.) Instruction in schools.
In Guyana education is provided free of cost In primary and secondary schools, these are the public schools.
There are also lots of private schools, both primary and secondary, which are available.
These are high attendances in the private schools as well the public schools, especially the ones with a high record of performance are hard to get into, and most parents like their children to attend the best schools .
Also the young generation have out grown the schools and the government needs to build, especially, new primary schools.
The Standard of Education has fallen in Guyana over the years because of the brain drain that took place within the last ten years and still continues. Once teachers are trained, they become very marketable and jump at any opportunity to leave Guyana for greener pastures, where they have better salaries, benefits and a better standard of living on the whole.
Guyana once had the highest literacy rate in the Caribbean   has now fallen during the 1980’s which has now fallen drastically.
