As part of a united effort involving government members, opposition representatives, and civil society, education on the border controversy is being taken to schools nationwide.
On Thursday, a panel engaged students at Queen’s College, providing insights into various aspects of the border controversy and the actions taken to address it.
The panelists at Queen’s College included Education Minister Priya Manickchand, Attorney-at-law Kim Kyte-Thomas, and Opposition MP Khemraj Ramjattan.
Each panelist made brief presentations, emphasizing the historical evolution of the matter and its unfolding implications in the near future.
Attorney General Hon. Anil Nandlall highlighted the global and hemispheric support for Guyana in the border dispute, stating that major international organizations, including the United Nations, are on Guyana’s side.
The panel also fielded questions from students, providing them with an opportunity to engage in discussions about the ongoing controversy.
One student suggested that organizations adherent to the rule of law could denounce Venezuela’s actions and emphasize the baseless nature of its claims.
The forum at Queen’s College was broadcast to students in several other schools through smart classrooms.
These educational engagements will continue across the country.
