Letter to Editor Essay

I have been looking over the results from the Nation Grade Six assessment which was written on the twenty-fifth and 26th of March by 16,811 students. Congratulations to all students who entered this exam, especially the students who have been able to gain a position one of Guyanas five (5) swipe schools. However, it is very noticeable that most of Guyanas top graduates are from a private school/institution. That brings along the thought of what really is going on in the public schools in Guyana? Are they treated to less?I am not bringing along the thought that all public school students did badly in this primary examination, but why arent more of our governmental institutions doing as well as students of a private school? Is it because of the poverty smitten we live in? Is it because the students are not having the adequate material like textbooks to get work undefiled? Is it the unskilled teachers being employed to teach these students? All of these things are readily available wi th high calibre to students of private institutions.Back in the good old days, no private school could compare to a public school, citizens generally preferred to send their children to a public school to ensure they have a proper ground. Today, that is very unsure. Not only the standard to public primary schools are dropping, but similarly the behavior in the students today that go to public school is treacherous. Are they having no discipline? Government, parents and teachers bring to work together to rebuild the good foundation and name of primary public schools in Guyana.
