About the project
Quality Bilingual Education Programme (QBEP)
- Where: Guyana
- What: Education for indigenous children
- Number helped: 300
The project enables Wapichan children to live their language in the classroom, an environment that has traditionally been dominated by English.
Education in Guyana has brought many advantages to the Wapichan people, but at the same time it has tended to separate them from the traditional education that took place through participation in their own community life.
This programme seeks to redress this balance, allowing them to feel even more connected to their culture.
