A total of 183 teachers have been granted duty-free concessions, Education Minister Sonia Parag announced on Sunday.
In a social media post, Parag said the approval reflects the Government’s continued commitment to the welfare of educators and appreciation for their service.
She congratulated the recipients and thanked them for their dedication to the country’s children and national development.
The concessions are provided under the 2024-2026 multi-year agreement signed between the Education Ministry and the Guyana Teachers’ Union (GTU) on August 21, 2024.
The agreement provides for eligible teachers to access duty-free concessions on vehicles with engine capacities of up to 1,800cc. Teachers in riverine communities may qualify for concessions on outboard engines of up to 75 horsepower, while eligible hinterland educators can access concessions for All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs).
In July 2025, the Ministry announced that 187 teachers had been approved for the benefit.
