President Dr. Irfaan Ali today met with the owners, staff, and several parents following the devastating fire that destroyed Mae’s School in Subryanville, Georgetown.
During the engagement at State House, the President emphasised that, despite the school being privately operated, the students are the nation’s children. Consequently, the government will support efforts to ensure their swift return to learning.
The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security will also provide counseling services for the children, parents, and teachers affected. A special committee has been established, comprising teachers, parents, and owners, to develop a plan for moving forward.
In addition, Georgetown International Academy (GIA) has agreed to accommodate 350 students, while various other alternatives are being explored for the remaining students to ensure they can resume classes as swiftly as possible, including offers from other privately-owned institutions to assist in accommodating students.
