This petition was created by members of the Brickdam Secondary Alumni Association (New York Chapter) to highlight concerns relating to the operation and conditions of the school building located at 45 Brickdam Stabroek, Georgetown, Guyana.
We are calling on Guyana’s Ministry of Education to lead the way, with the assistance of the school board and teacher’s union, in ratifying the following concerns so as to create an environment conducive to teaching and learning:
-Relocate to a new building in Georgetown that would facilitate the safety of students in the classroom and while on recreation, better protect teachers and students from the weather (rain & sun), allow for improved facilities, and allow for much needed space for the classrooms, Science Lab, IT room, and teacher’s lounge.
-Not to be merged with any other schools.
-Enforce standards so that school staff focuses mainly on students’ education.
-Provide text books necessary for effective teaching and learning.

I was looking at the old building photos today and it got me thinking about how much of our history is tied to that spot even if the structure itself is just falling apart. It is strange how some people keep telling me that we are asking for too much but then I talk to a current teacher and realize the reality is actually way worse than we even thought.

I was looking at the screen and just felt so stunned that the momentum has picked up in this way, which is honestly just incredible because I remember when this was just an idea we whispered about in group chats. It feels like people actually see what is happening to the school and it makes me want to get back to work immediately because we truly have so much room to grow.

I support this! i attended this school, space and security is deffinately an issue, it was four years ago and it is now!
I am requesting that you put into your budget to upgrade this school that is part of our history and the future for our children.
Brickdam Secondary has produced many scholars who play meaningful roles in Guyana and internationally. Please save this school so we can continue to boast of its successes.
What about the standards of the school after such is done? Mind you, i'm not implying anything about Central high, but aren't we entitled to our independent standards. That's asking the students to adjust.
Safety should be the last concern in an environment where learning is administered!
Nice
As a Pass student of Brickdam Secondary School I sign this partition to keep this Institution.

Brickdam has been in this state for too long. There must be no merging, the name must go on!
