LOOKING BACK AT COLONIAL EDUCATION

Sep 18, 2016 Editorial, Kaieteur News

 Opinion - commentary -analysisEducation has historically played a critical role in the development of Guyana. It has imparted knowledge and skills and has empowered the people to solve everyday problems in society. It has supported capacity building in the plantation economy and has built critical areas of thinking. Education has made Guyana very competitive in its pursuit of economic growth and development.

Cricket: The Lara nightmare for Australia – By Ben Pobjie in Cricket Monthly

The Lara nightmare – A saga in which Australian hopes were repeatedly ground to dust

BEN POBJIE | SEPTEMBER 2016 – http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/

How could I not hate Brian Lara (see stats here)? He was exactly the kind of cocky, flashy show-off that Australians are trained from birth to despise: especially if the show-off is not Australian; and doubly so if the show-off happens to be very, very good.

Despair, worries about the future and financial pressures are taking a toll on millions of young Britons, according to a major new poll that also found young women were suffering in particular.

Low pay and lack of work in today’s Britain are resulting in “suspended adulthood”, with many living or moving back in with their parents and putting off having children, according to the poll of thousands of 18 to 30 year-olds.          Continue reading →
