A sod-turning ceremony takes place at St. Joseph’s High School in Georgetown for a new annex expansion to meet the needs of the school’s growing student population. Government officials, including representatives of the Ministry of Education and the Office of the First Lady, attend the event. Reports identify the project as being supported by the World Bank, with figures cited in coverage ranging from about US$400 million to roughly US$421 million, and another outlet citing approximately US$412 million.
InNews Guyana says the planned block will include 10 new classrooms capable of accommodating more than 250 students, along with additional science-related facilities, including a physics component. The Guyana Chronicle describes the project as a major investment aimed at improving quality and inclusive, accessible education. Coverage also indicates the project is being initiated through a formal ceremony coordinated by the Ministry of Education, together with other government offices and World Bank representatives. Construction is described as officially commencing following the sod-turning.
