– GCCI presidentAlthough Guyana is in need of foreign investment, there exists the possibility that consumers may suffer ill consequences as a result of less than adequate regulations and monitoring of resources with regards to quality assurance of imported goods.These concerns have been raised by the members of the business community.According to Mr. Chandradat Chintamani,cheap jerseys, President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) who was commenting on the increased presence of Chinese wholesale and retail businesses both in Georgetown and around the country.“We may not have the right regulations in place to enforce quality control, so, now may be the appropriate time to invest in training and building our capacity and regulations so that we can start enforcing standards of what we believe to be the correct products for our market. Once we allow the explosion to take place it becomes a huge challenge to control it thereafter.”The United States is currently recalling cars under the Toyota flag, but not too long ago the authorities in the country were issuing recalls for less loftier items.? Millions of toys that were tainted with lead or were otherwise hazardous to children created an enormous problem as Americans moved to have the items returned and their money refunded for what they perceived as substandard products.After the recall, the items were supposed to be destroyed in accordance with safe environmental practices but there are also indications that a portion of these items were returned to the manufacturers and were subsequently resold to more ‘accommodating’ markets – countries where the checks were not as stringent as those in the United States or where the resources do not stretch as far as they need to.Yet in the United States,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, where the safety standards are much more rigorously adhered to than in other places and where the consumer protection agencies have more funding and better equipment,Wholesale Jerseys Outlet, the issue of product safety and quality is still a major concern.

The business of education cannot be effectively done by officers and teachers within the education system alone.? This notion was recently amplified by Chief Education Officer (CEO), Olato Sam, who related that “for us to attain our broad objectives, we need the support of all of the people of this nation; we need Guyana to really make education a national priority.”Alluding to the theme under which education month 2015 is currently being observed, ‘Quality educational leadership – improving schools from within’,NFL Jerseys China, Sam pointed to the fact that research has shown that there are key factors that collectively contribute to effective school environments.“On the one hand we need committed, educated teachers who are adequately trained and competent to deliver on a daily basis,” said Sam.He also pointed to the need for support from those within the immediate environment of educational institutions. Moreover, the CEO stressed the need for an enabling environment for the attainment of the education system’s objectives.And since it is said that strong leadership is mandatory in order for the desired results to be realized, Sam noted that the Ministry this month has deliberately decided to direct keen focus on the importance of leadership.According to him, in schools where there are managers who inspire and maintain a culture of excellence,Wholesale Jerseys Outlet, you will find that those are the ones progressing.Chief Education Officer,Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic, Olato SamBut even as the Ministry seeks to preach the importance of support and leadership, Sam underscored the need for even those outside of the system, who have some sphere of influence, to ensure that they too strive to embrace the objectives of the education system in recognition of the fact that “we have a mission much too great to fail.”He asserted that the work of the education sector is of critical importance to the nation and its people, thus, it must be thoroughly supported.In stressing the sector’s crucial contribution to development, he shared his conviction that there is ample evidence in the education system that some things are already working. As such, Sam made reference to the accomplishments of Guyanese students who have excelled even on a regional scale. “Once we enter into a field within this Region, we will dominate,” he insisted.But in order to add to the gains achieved, the CEO sounded a clarion call to the nation to begin the work necessary to have teachers reclaim their appropriate place in society. According to him, for too long teachers and teaching have been undermined and undervalued in many communities. “If we are to actually progress as a nation and fulfill our developmental objectives, our teachers need to be the ones who will lead that effort.”“Our communities need to support our teachers, and we as a nation need to valorize teaching to ensure that they internalize the deep sense of responsibility as duty bearers and that they ensure on a daily basis that they execute their functions with the full knowledge that they are supported by this entire nation,” said Sam.And it is the CEO’s belief that “we have a wonderful foundation to build on, where teachers,Cheap MLS Jerseys, despite the challenges they face on a daily basis, have consistently contributed and have helped us to move the education agenda forward.”Even as support is directed to teachers,NFL Jerseys Authentic, Sam highlighted the need for a deep sense of concern to be simultaneously directed to the nation’s children.
