His Excellency Dr Irfaan Ali today revealed that the Port Mourant Training Centre would be transformed into the countrys National Oil and Gas Institute.
The Head of State made the announcement while delivering remarks after his site visit to the Berbice Deep Water Port, which is being constructed by Canadian company CGX Energy Inc, through its subsidiary Grand Canal Industrial Estates Inc (GCIE).
He reminisced on the quality of the craftsmen that the centre has produced throughout the years, many of whom excelled outside of Guyana.
With its drive for excellence, he indicated that it would be the perfect location to have the transformation area of study.
The governments plan to invest heavily in the education sector was repeated by the President, who said that the platform and infrastructure will be created to ensure that teachers and nurses can pursue their post-graduate studies remotely in the region via distance and online education.
Young teachers, you can become a trained teacher from right here in Berbice. That is the investment platform we are building.
