Detail InformationEdit

Port Kaituma Community School (PKCS) is a learning centre located in Port Kaituma within the Barima-Waini administrative region of Guyana. Incorporating the Nursery, Primary and Secondary departments, the Community School provides an important educational resource to the towns youngsters providing the opportunity to break free from the otherwise inevitable employment in gold mining and its support services.
Built in the times of Forbes Burnham, the then President of Guyana, PKCS was part of a major vision to populate Guyana’s hinterland regions in a bid to make the country more self sufficient. Nearby Matthew’s Ridge was even touted as a prospective new capital city due to its rich manganese resources. During its heyday, the school boasted over 800 students sent from all over Guyana. Most of these students were housed in the nearby school dormitories. The school also had its own farm, ball field and agricultural patch. The decline of the region following the deceased manganese operations and the abandonment of the hinterland population project meant Port Kaituma was no longer a priority and the area experienced an economic downturn. The school numbers fell and the dorms were abandoned towards the end of the 1980’s. Most of the beds were transferred to Kaituma’s now more affluent neighbour Mabaruma and its North West Secondary School. The farm has since been invaded by the encroaching rainforest.
