“Parents must play their part” – Education Minister
Parental involvement is key to the improvement of educational outcomes; recognising this, the Education Ministry on Monday held a Parent Seminar at the North Ruimveldt Secondary School, to engage the parents, guardians, and teachers.Parents, students and education officials in attendanceAccording to a Department of Public Information (DPI) report, in attendance were representatives of the Parent-Teachers Associations (PTAs) of every nursery, primary and secondary school in the Georgetown education district. The move was commended by all present.Speaking to the parents present, Education Minister Nicolette Henry explained the seriousness with which the Ministry took its role in the process of educating Guyana’s future.“We want our students, irrespective of where they live and whatever their circumstances, to be exposed to the best possible education that we can offer them as a country and as a people, and so it is not by accident that we have established a unit that engages and works and supports parents to get that involvement, engagement, partnership, and collaboration,” Henry is quoted by DPI as saying.Chief Education Officer, Dr Marcel Hutson underscored the Ministry’s commitment to engaging parents as it worked to ensure higher educational standards. “This seminar could not have come at a better time, since we, in the Ministry of Education, are keen on transforming the sector and producing students that are of quality and in keeping with the SDG 4 agenda which speaks to quality, equity, inclusivity, and lifelong learning,” Dr Hutson remarked.Additionally, he spoke to the parental support needed to create impactful change in the education system.Also engaging the parents were National PTA Coordinator Nadia Hollingsworth and Senior Guidance and Counselling Officer Vickram Mohabir, who both emphasised the importance of having all persons involved in the education of a child.Mohabir described the ideal school system as a ‘tripartite’ one, where the school, inclusive of teachers and educators, work collaboratively with students and parents to ensure the best possible educational outcomes. Hollingsworth then underscored the importance of PTAs in schools and the support needed from parents through regular attendance at meetings.

Mourinho respects Pogba’s ‘professionalism’ amid reports of row
The midfielder has endured a frustrating spell in recent weeks, having been substituted twice and absent from the starting line-up three times in United’s past five games.He missed last Saturday’s FA Cup fifth-round victory at Huddersfield because of illness but had been expected to return from the start on Wednesday as United visited Sevilla for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.He was named on the bench instead, but ended up playing most of the game anyway, replacing Ander Herrera, who was forced off early with a hamstring injury in the 0-0 draw.With Herrera out of action, Pogba is set to return to the starting line-up when Chelsea visit Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.“You saw the game against Seville,” said Mourinho. “It’s always more difficult to come from the bench than to start.“A player when he is starting the game has a different kind of preparation for it. To be on the bench and to come on without warming up and getting to the pace of the game is not easy.“I think he had a very positive game for us. Some players on the bench take five minutes to be ready to play. They don’t have shin pads, they don’t have strapping, they don’t have the shirt.“He took 10 seconds to be ready to come to the pitch, to show the professionalism and show he was ready to help the team.”Mourinho attempted to play down his rivalries with both Chelsea and their head coach Antonio Conte.Conte and Mourinho have traded poisonous barbs this season, culminating in the pair saying they felt “contempt” for each other.Asked for his thoughts on their impending meeting, Mourinho said: “I don’t want to speak about it. I’m not going to speak about it. That’s not the point. He is a very good manager, they are a fantastic team and that’s what is important for me.”Mourinho spent two spells as manager of Chelsea between 2004 and 2015, winning three Premier League titles.Jose Mourinho said Chelsea’s Antonio Conte “is a very good manager” © AFP/File / Oli SCARFFHis family home is still in London, near Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge ground, and he said he retains a good relationship with many people at the club, citing the support they gave him after the death of his father last year.Mourinho said: “I have a good relation with the board. I don’t forget how nice they were to me in a difficult period with departure of my father. I don’t have any problem, any regret, any stone in my shoes, no problem at all.”0Shares0000(Visited 2 times, 1 visits today) 0Shares0000Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba impressed his manager when he came off the bench in Sevills © AFP/File / Lindsey PARNABYMANCHESR, United Kingdom, Feb 23 – Jose Mourinho said Friday he respects Paul Pogba’s “professionalism” following reports of a heated training ground row with the out-of-favour Manchester United midfielder.Mourinho last week dismissed as “lies” any talk of the Frenchman wanting to leave Old Trafford less than two years after he returned to the club from Juventus for a then world-record fee of £89 million ($124 million).

Tracks lead to days of youth
SANTA CLARITA – Nancy Guthrie Hutchison and her siblings hung out at the train station when they were growing up, but they weren’t headed anywhere. They were home. Their father was James “Bob” Guthrie, who for about 17 years was the depot agent at the Saugus train station. Guthrie, who died in February at age 80, had been Southern Pacific Railroad’s last agent in Saugus, and he and his family had been the last folks to reside at a station. Their home quarters were on the second story. The wooden building, erected in 1876, was across from the Saugus Cafe until it was moved in 1982 to Hart Park’s Heritage Junction. Hutchison, 45, now a Kissimmee, Fla., resident, walked down memory lane Wednesday with her husband Roger, three of her four daughters and the eldest daughter’s fiance. They were on their way to Paso Robles to help her mother, Arminta Guthrie, celebrate her 80th birthday. On Wednesday, a horn blast from a passing Metrolink train accompanied her thoughts. Daughters Colisha, 24; Kayla, 20, and Shelby, 12, could not envision sharing the bedroom their mom and four of her five sisters had squeezed into. “No way,” Colisha said. It was hard to imagine sharing the single phone downstairs. The Hutchinson sisters all have their own cell phones. The sisters took turns swapping their mom’s stories and remembering their grandpa, who had used spoons in imitation while telling them about his his Morse code skills. Arminta Guthrie, who had grown up on a farm and lived in a home with her extended family, helped her husband with his tasks. The couple’s move from a large home in Oxnard to the Saugus station was a wise one, Hutchinson believes. “It’s the happiest memories of my life,” she said.

It seemed to have shrunk, but damp eyes and halting words fixed on vivid memories. “I tried to climb out that window,” she said, pointing to the second-story kitchen window. “One of the engineers ran in and told my dad. They bolted the window shut so I couldn’t do it again.” The young child, who had wanted to sunbathe on the roof, grew into a spunky teen. “It was my job to sweep the stairs,” she said of the wooden flight that amplified each step. “As I got older and tried to sneak home at 2 a.m., it was not possible.” Her dad frowned on his children’s penchant for laying pennies on the railroad tracks to be flattened by passing trains. 
The three incredible plays that show Kyle Shanahan’s genius
For years, I’m sure that you’ve heard that “Kyle Shanahan is an offensive genius”.Week in, week out, he’s backed up that reputation, but Sunday was his single best game as in charge of the 49ers’ offense. He pulled out all the stops to beat Drew Brees and one of the best playcallers of all time, New Orleans coach Sean Payton.I keep a folder on my computer called “Shanny Specials”, where I catalog my favorite Shanahan plays. There are a couple dozen in there — pass plays, run plays, and some …
