The $790M Yarrowkabra Secondary School located along the Soesdyke – Linden Highway.
Kaieteur News – With $790 million already spent to construct the Yarrowkabra Secondary School, the facility is set to get a new annex which is estimated to cost an additional $191 million.
The Ministry of Education project which opened recently at the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB) attracted a total of nine contractors. This publication reported that earlier this month, President Irfaan Ali alongside Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand commissioned the $790,571,342 school which was built by R. Bassoo & Sons Construction Company.
At the commissioning ceremony, the Education Minister had noted that her ministry did issue a tender for an additional block for the school. We started this school last year and we already need 10 new classrooms which the Permanent Secretary has already put out a bid because once the school is here, kids will come to school and once children come to school, lives will change,” the minister said at the time. It was reported also that the new school is presently accommodating 1,019 students across 35 classes and has 65 teachers including 29 newly recruited educators, 31 trained teachers, 14 teachers who are in training and 20 to be registered for training.
