Action, Criticism, and Theory for Music Education 14(2) 145 Research-Based Curriculum Design for Multicultural School Music: Reflections on a National Project in Guyana Rohan Sagar Harpy Eagle Music Foundation, Guyana David G. Hebert Bergen University College, Norway Abstract This article reports on an applied ethnomusicological and historical study that guided the development of a new music curriculum for schools in Guyana, a multi- ethnic and postcolonial nation in Latin America. We establish our rationale with an introduction to Guyana and the status quo of its school music education, then embark on examining the socio-historical background: from Indigenous Peoples and the European settlement of colonial Guyana, to the arrival of Africans as slaves, and indentured servants from Portugal, China and East India. The diverse heritage of post-colonial Guyana, including distinctive creolization, is reviewed as a prelude to discussion of local music traditions and their representation in schools. -

This article extracts from a statement reputedly made by Minister for Forestry Robert Persaud (according to Demerara Waves internet radio) about the acquisition of logging concessions totalling nearly 738,000 ha by Vaitarna Holdings Private Inc. (VHPI), a subsidiary of Coffee Day Limited of India, which is a coffee shop chain of the Starbucks type. Coffee Day Limited formed a subsidiary enterprise to make all kinds of domestic and commercial office furniture to satisfy the booming market in India. Minister Persaud’s reputed statement was not on the Ministry of Agriculture’s website on 08 April. According to this reputed statement, the State Forest Exploratory Permit (SFEP) issued in 2007 to Simon & Shock Inc. was suspended in 2009 and transferred to VHPI. In the same year, the Timber Sales Agreement (TSA) of Caribbean Resources Ltd., a subsidiary of CLICO insurance company in Trinidad, was rescinded by the Guyana Forestry Commission. However, having been allocated in 1989 for 15 years, the TSA had been incorrectly extended year by year since 2004. This TSA was awarded non-competitively in 2010 also to VHPI. -

LADB Article Id: 059133 ISSN: 1060-4189 Guyana: Cheddi Jagan Elected President, Summary Of Developments by Erika Harding Category/Department: General Published: Tuesday, October 13, 1992 On Oct. 5, national elections were held in Guyana. The balloting came two years later than originally scheduled. On at least two occasions during the previous two years, authorities cancelled tentatively-scheduled elections due to reported irregularities in voter registration lists. (For previous coverage see NotiSur, 11/27/91, 12/11/91, 06/30/92.) More than 380,000 persons were registered for the Oct. 5 elections. On election day, voter abstention was estimated at about 20%. Under Guyana's current electoral regulations, voters choose between lists of candidates presented by the various parties. The head of the party which receives the highest number of votes becomes president. The president in turn chooses a prime minister. The People's National Congress (PNC) party, which has ruled the country for the past 28 years, has repeatedly been accused of electoral fraud. -

President Janet Jagan's Address to the Nation, First Broadcast on GBC at 17:00 Hours Yesterday
President's Message President Jagan's address THE following is the text of President Janet Jagan's address to the nation, first broadcast on GBC at 17:00 hours yesterday. THE time has now come for me to take a decision, which I have been considering over the past month. When I became ill on the eve of my return from Rio de Janeiro Summit of leaders of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean, I spent a little time in hospital and then had medical tests in Trinidad. From these, I was advised to seek further tests abroad, and then proceeded to the USA where I was under the care of a Guyanese doctor whom I have known since his childhood. Despite the assurances that my condition is not life threatening, I found that my energy and stamina have been seriously reduced. I considered at length and consulted close colleagues on the question of my continuing in office as President. It is now my firm and studied conclusion that I can no longer offer to the nation the vigorous and strong leadership that I had sought to provide during my 20 months as the lawfully and duly elected President of the Republic of Guyana. I, therefore, wish to announce that I intend to resign my position as President and to fulfil the promise I made during the 1997 election campaign. At the time, the PPP/Civic had announced the concept of the 'A' Team, made up of myself, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and Finance Minister, Bharrat Jagdeo. It was stated at public meetings and through campaign material that should anything happen to the President, clear cut means would be used to replace the President by the third member of the 'A' Team, Bharrat Jagdeo, with the Prime Minister retaining his position in the post allotted to the Civic component of the PPP/Civic alliance.
