Summary
Yarrowkabra Primary School just got a $177 million upgrade—eight new classrooms, a canteen, offices, and a special needs room to handle 200 more students. Built for 250, it was housing over 400—cramped, chaotic, and hindering learning. The new wing enables inclusive programs in music and special needs, while upgrades include repainted walls, fixed lights, new water systems, wider entrances, sanitation, and Starlink internet. Minister Sonia Parag hailed it as part of Guyana’s national push for 18 new schools this year—and universal secondary access by 2026.
