As the new school year approaches, parents in Georgetown are busy completing their back-to-school shopping, ensuring their children are well-prepared for the term ahead.
With school reopening on Monday, September 2, many families are finalizing their purchases along the bustling Regent Street in the capital.
The shopping rush is evident, with vendors offering a wide range of school supplies to meet the needs of students.
This surge in activity is particularly noticeable in the final week before the school year starts.
Parents have shared their experiences of the shopping season, noting both the challenges and conveniences they encounter.
Some parents appreciate the variety of options available, which cater to different budgets and preferences.
Additionally, the government’s support has made it easier for families to afford necessary items, contributing to a smoother shopping experience.
The back-to-school shopping period often begins in June and July, coinciding with the end of the previous school year.
However, it reaches its peak in the final week before school resumes.
