			<description><![CDATA[i beg to disagree. Guyana needs more qualified teachers to give the students a proper foundation in maths and english from the early learner stage....without an early foundation they will continue to find difficulties at the higher levels thereby making the teachers' task more difficult]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What we have on our hands is asystemic problem. that will not go away easily.When we look at all the factors that dtermine education out comes, we blame everybody and everything- teacherts at all levels, parents, the communities, governments, poitics,the experts, who make all sorts of recommendations , the school environment with poor facilities ,etc.All sorts of studies have been done over the decaddes and really no progress has been made.School is seen too often as a factory to produce good CSEC results.When the desired are not evident, we cry and lament. Despite the challenges in the system, every stakeholder must see the child not as a sixteen or seventeen year old writing an examination but as a person for life with a contribution to make to society.I did not write CSEC but I am good enough to make a positive contribution. Education must be wholistic. Can I posit a few questions? Is the bar set too high for too many students so we cry dismal each year? Are too many of our students unmotivated or demotivated to care? How many parents care as they should? Is the entire programme relevant? Have governments done enough? Are our classes too large? Must all students be made to write the examination or should there be a selective process in terms of who offer what subjects? If a student can do well at twenty subjects, so be it .If he or she can only do well at two subjects , so be it too. At the end of the day,we will not throw up our hands and lament.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[For your information there are lots of lowly paid teachers who are turning out excellent students.... congrats to the teachers and students of the community college for achieving 75% pass grades 1 to 3 in English Language and 60% pass in mathematics grades 1 to 3..... the college has low fees so its teachers are not paid much but they do excellent work]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ms. CXC Registrar Dr. Didacus Jules I want you to know that "A worker is worthy of his pay." This is not a case of casting blame. You have to call a spade a spade and give Jack his jacket. How can you expect to have persons that are so very important to the future of Guyana working and when they look at their pay packet; they take home pay CANNOT EVEN TAKE THEM HOME? Cannot feed their children when the month ends. Cannot buy a suit to wear to school unless their get help from some one abroad who had the brains to go and leave this dead end? Those who run this country along with their friends can pay to send their children to get tuition, but the teachers that work hard and try their best are frustrated. When they leave home on mornings for school and at the end of the month they cannot see how they will pay their light or water bill, it is like they are only hiding from home when they go to school to teach. If some of these teachers do not have extra classes to supplement their salary when the month ends,.. "CRAPOO SMOKE DA PIPE".]]></description>
