Embedding local history, language, crafts, and livelihoods into lessons helps students see school as connected to their lives and community.
Rural schools face higher turnover, isolation, and resource constraints that undermine continuity and student outcomes.
Many families in Mayaro have benefited from targeted digital literacy programmes that help parents and caregivers support children’s online learning, showing that community training boosts home‑school continuity and student engagement.
Local primary and secondary schools in Mayaro, Guayaguayare and Rio Claro serve small, close‑knit communities where school capacity and access to resources vary widely; these primary and secondary institutions are spread across the area, underscoring the need for coordinated support and shared services. When businesses, faith groups, NGOs, and parents align with schools, they can fill gaps in materials, extracurricular programming, and transport, while also strengthening trust between educators and families.
All donations to the MGREC will directly support our students as they adapt to changing circumstances.
Everything that I worked with the MGREC to accomplish really helped create better situations for the children and young adults in our community.
