  • P Project/Program

? Activity Status: Unknown

Key Information

The adolescent mothers are now enlisted to complete courses in either cosmetology or cake and pastry making at the Carnegie School of Home Economics (CSHE). This is the second move of this nature by the Education Ministry. It follows the reintegration of several mothers last year, at the same institution. The move is in keeping with the policy of reintegration of adolescent mothers into the education system, as this is seen as paramount to the development of women and girls in Guyana.
