This imposition will create a downturn in tertiary education in our country. We will remain a third world economy because foreigners with higher levels of education will come to manage our organizations simply because we cannot afford to pay to acquire a proper education because of the additional burden placed on an already strained budget

Education should never attract vat, the benefits to the nation would be reaped in the future development of the country through its educated people.

Let education be VAT free. Please public education is free and a bit chaotic. People are just trying to get the best for their kids.

Vat on education is beyond disgusting. In a time where education is so important and should be encouraged in every possible way.

Parents already paid income tax on their wages - why an additional burden? Will th GRA bring back tax exemptions for having children that are dependent on you????

Education, in today's world is the path to success. Taxing childrens path to success should not be used to generate income for the government. It's ridiculous and cowardly.

There is a journey that we all must take, not the same and never alone...we have birthed a generation of risk takers...fearless warriors and outspoken achievers...we are responsible for our partaking of their revolution...believe in them and let us not put our hopes and dreams into an unstable political or professional circus....we are teachers for the leaders of today....our children....regardless of what changes may occur ...one thing must remain constant...doing and giving our best....

One small but very important step in the fight to take Guyana back from these dictators.

It is against the fundamental principles of a VAT regime to tax essential services, including education and health. This tax should be removed immediately, for Guyanese private educational schools.

“Education is a Necessity, Let it be VAT free” We need schools like the School of Nations! There is a lot to be learned (if they are already not doing so) from private school - instead of the 14% VAT, why not look to this and other private schools as a haven for teacher training?
