Ministry Launches Grade Six Workshop. #NGSA #Literacy

Empowering young minds! The Ministry of Education, through the National Literacy Department, launches the Online Writer’s Workshop for Grade Six learners. With over 1,250 participants, experienced instructors, and continuous teacher training, we’re enhancing composition skills for the upcoming NGSA.

The Ministry of Education, through the National Literacy Department, is pleased to announce the commencement of the Online Writer’s Workshop for Grade Six learners. Classes will be held at the following times: 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM, 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM, and 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM on Saturday and Sunday (January 25 – April 13, 2025).

This initiative has successfully registered a total of 1,250 learners from all 11 educational districts. Over the next 12 weeks, participants will benefit from the expertise of experienced instructors who will guide them in enhancing their composition writing skills in preparation for the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) scheduled for April 16 and 17, 2025.

In advance of this programme, selected teachers underwent capacity-building sessions to ensure they are equipped to provide the highest level of support to the learners. Furthermore, the National Literacy Department will conduct additional professional development training sessions for Grade six teachers to continually refresh their skills and enhance their effectiveness in engaging learners within their classrooms.

We look forward to a productive and enriching experience for all participants as they develop their writing abilities. @followers Ministry of Education - Guyana
