Highlights from the Cyril Potter College of Education Easter Brunch ✨

Earlier this week, the Cyril Potter College of Education hosted a special luncheon in observance of International Women’s Day, bringing together women within the college community to celebrate strength, leadership, and the invaluable contributions of women in education.

The gathering provided a moment of appreciation, connection, and reflection, honouring the women who continue to inspire, lead, and shape the future of education. 🌸✨

At the Cyril Potter College of Education, the observance of Phagwah served as a reminder of the important role education plays in preserving culture and promoting social cohesion. The College continues to cultivate an environment where diversity is respected and celebrated.

The Ministry of Education extends its deepest condolences on the passing of Ms. Kevaun Sears, who served with distinction as Vice Principal of the Cyril Potter College of Education for many years.

Ms. Sears was not only a dedicated educator and administrator, but also a mentor whose impact shaped generations of teachers and students across Guyana. Minister of Education, Sonia Parag, remembers her as her former Math teacher at President’s College, whose guidance and commitment to excellence left a lasting impression.

On behalf of the Honourable Minister and the Ministry of Education, we express sincere sympathy to her family, friends, colleagues, and all those whose lives she touched. May her legacy of service, leadership, and devotion to education continue to inspire.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.

🎓✨ Celebrating Your Moment!
