GEORGETOWN: The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) awarded twenty-six (26) bursaries to workers’ children who sat the National Grade Six Examinations this year.
This year’s event was conducted at two (2) events – at the Union’s Office in Georgetown and at the Rose Hall Estate Training Building in Berbice. Union officials presented the monetary awards while a parent of each pupil witnessed the activities.
At both activities, held on August 29, 2014, the Union’s General Secretary, Cde Seepaul Narine, congratulated the students and advised them to continue studying and learning, noting that information and communication technology (ICT) requires sound education for one to enter today’s job-market. He urged the parents to continue to support and encourage their children as they pursue their future studies. He expressed the hope that the Union’s bursaries would contribute in some way to encourage the awardees to engage in future education pursuit and that they would write the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) examinations in five years’ time and be successful in a number of subjects.
The Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union Co-operative Credit Union Society Limited contributed three (3) of the twenty-six (26) bursaries.
