MEMBER of the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) in Region Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam), Mr. Tulsie Narine, is advocating that members of school boards be paid a stipend.

Addressing the RDC statutory meeting earlier this month, the Chairman of the Education Sub-Committee appealed to the body to raise the issue with the Ministry of Education.

Narine said, if they receive monetary remuneration, those who sit on school boards and are currently giving voluntary service will contribute more meaningfully to the learning process.
