Ministry of Education, Guyana

Education in Guyana is provided largely by the government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Education and its arms in the ten different regions of the country. Guyana's education system is a legacy from its time as British Guiana, and is similar to that of the other anglophone member states of the Caribbean Community, which are affiliated to the Caribbean Examinations Council. School curricula, funding, standards and other policies are set by the central government and implemented through the Ministry of Education and related agencies.

 

The Education System is divided into eleven districts, ten of which correspond to the national administrative and geographical regions of the country, while the capital,Georgetown, is treated as a separate education district.[3] With 8.3% of its GDP spent on education, Guyana sits with Cuba, Iceland, Denmark and Botswana as among the few countries with top spending on education.
