Educating, Education, Educators: Working to Build an Educated Nation critically examines Guyana’s education system through the metaphor of John Donne’s "stiff twin compasses," symbolizing interconnected yet often overlooked concentric circles—students, teachers, parents, policymakers, and society. Challenging the narrow focus on exam results as the sole measure of success, the book explores systemic gaps, from gender disparities in teaching to linguistic tensions in classrooms, psychological barriers in math education, and the impact of single parenthood on learning. It advocates for holistic success, valuing civic-mindedness and creativity alongside academic achievement. By analyzing these hidden variables, the book calls for reforms to foster an equitable, innovative, and truly educated nation. It urges educators and policymakers to redefine success beyond grades, prioritizing collective growth and national development.
