Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal

With several new schools being constructed throughout Region One (Barima-Waini), Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal urged parents, especially those in Haimaruni, to take full advantage.
The Minister was at the time addressing residents of Haimaruni where 10 houses were handed over to villagers.
He told residents that three schools would be constructed throughout the region.
“So, we must all strive to ensure that our children maximise and make use of the educational opportunities that are coming this way. That is why you have the construction of three secondary schools in Region One,” he said.
Meanwhile, he also announced that the Education Ministry would soon sign the contract for the construction of a new secondary school at Waramuri.
“Very shortly, the Education Ministry will be signing the contract for the new secondary school to be constructed at Waramuri and similarly over at Mabaruma Sub Region, we have the construction of the Hosororo Secondary School,” the Minister told residents.
As part of the Ministry’s plan to equip pupils with knowledge in science and technology, Minister Croal further added that the new schools would be well-equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories.
“All these secondary schools that you see are also being equipped with all the necessary laboratory facilities so that your children will also embark on subjects that were prohibitive for the hinterland areas, mainly science and technology subjects,” he stated, adding that Government wants children to make use of the job opportunities that exist within the country.
