The Ministry of Education is mourning the passing of Ms. Melanie Jones, a dedicated educator whose career was defined by service, leadership and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Ms. Jones began her teaching career as an English Language teacher at St. Joseph High School, before advancing to leadership positions at Richard Ishmael Secondary School, where she served as Deputy Headteacher and later Headteacher.

Throughout her years in education, Ms. Jones made a lasting impact on the education system and on the countless students and colleagues whose lives she touched.

She was remembered as a firm and principled leader who placed strong emphasis on discipline, accountability and high standards, while also demonstrating genuine care and concern for her students and colleagues.

The Ministry has extended its deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, former students and the entire Richard Ishmael Secondary School community during this difficult time.

Her passing represents a loss to Guyanaโ€™s education fraternity and to all those who benefited from her years of dedicated service.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.

A 50-year-old man from Tuschen has been remanded to prison after allegedly making a false claim that two of his children were among those who died in the MV Barima tragedy.

Jermaine English, of Tuschen New Housing Scheme, appeared before Magistrate Orinthia Schmidt at the Georgetown Magistratesโ€™ Courts, where an indictable charge was read to him.

English is accused of attempting to commit a felony by falsely claiming that two of his children had drowned when the MV Barima capsized on July 18, 2026.

The alleged offence reportedly occurred on August 17 and 18 at the Ministry of Public Service, where English allegedly made the claim.

However, investigations subsequently determined that English did not have children among those who died in the tragedy.

During the court proceedings, prosecutors objected to bail, pointing to the seriousness of the allegation.

The court also heard that English allegedly admitted to the offence during a video-recorded interview.

Because the charge is indictable, English was not required to enter a plea.

When questioned by the magistrate, English disclosed that he had previously faced a charge of simple larceny.

Magistrate Schmidt ultimately refused bail, and English was remanded to prison.

He is scheduled to return to court on September 16, 2026.

Canawaima Ferry Service Suspended Over Maintenance Dispute

The Canawaima Ferry Service has announced the temporary suspension of operations between Guyana and Suriname following a disagreement over maintenance requirements for the M.V. Canawaima.

According to a statement issued by the Canawaima Ferry Service, two technical inspections were conducted in recent days by maritime experts from Guyana and Suriname.

The experts concluded that the vessel could safely remain in operation until it undergoes drydocking within the next three months. The assessments were reportedly provided in writing.

However, the Maritime Authority in Suriname (MAS) insisted that certain issues which were expected to be addressed during the vesselโ€™s scheduled drydocking should instead be dealt with immediately.

The Canawaima Ferry Service noted that responsibility for the maintenance and drydocking of the vessel falls under Suriname.

Despite the suspension, the Boards on both the Guyana and Suriname sides remain in close communication and are working jointly towards the earliest possible resumption of the ferry service.

The service acknowledged the inconvenience caused to passengers and other users and assured the public that all efforts are being made to restore operations as soon as possible.

The Canawaima Ferry Service also thanked the public for its patience and understanding and apologized for the disruption.
