Georgetown: The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) congratulated the University of Guyana (UG) today on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its establishment.
The party’s General Secretary, Clement Rohee said the anniversary marks a historic milestone in the life of the university which was established on October 1963. He said that the University and the government have roles that go hand in hand in relation to the development of Guyana. According to him, continuous efforts are being made to ensure that the courses at the university correspond with the country’s developmental thrust.
Rohee further said that the PPP is proud of the fact that UG was established by the PPP government and was the brainchild of the late Dr. Cheddi Jagan.
Rohee said that “the University of Guyana started out on the modest location of Queen’s College compound with a limited number of students, but grew both in terms of student population and the range of disciplines offered as the years progressed. Today the Campus sits on the sprawling lawns of the Turkeyen Campus and has now expanded its offerings to the county of Berbice, again under the current PPP/C administration”.
