Education Minister Sonia Parag establishes a National Mathematics Taskforce aimed at improving mathematics performance across Guyana’s school system. According to ministry information reported by both outlets, the taskforce is tasked with reviewing current mathematics performance trends at all school levels and developing a comprehensive, sustainable strategy to address gaps identified in those results. The taskforce includes specialists from every region, bringing together regional input to help shape national recommendations. Both sources say the group holds its first meeting at the National Centre for Education and Research Development (NCERD) auditorium, where initial discussions focus on its mandate and next steps. The announcements describe the initiative as a longer-term effort rather than a short-term programme, with the goal of producing measurable improvements in mathematics outcomes nationally. Further details on timelines, membership lists, or specific targets are not provided in the excerpts published by the outlets.
