Mae’s Schools was not insured, temporary accommodation being set up for students

See below the full statement from Mae’s Schools

The Mae’s School, having experienced the unfortunate event of a fire which completely destroyed its main structure on Wednesday, March 5th, 2025, is currently putting urgent systems in place to ensure that the educational journey of its children continues uninterrupted. The building previously housed the playground, primary and secondary students.

To date, all students, teachers and staff members have been safely accounted for and this has been verified by the Guyana Fire Service.

The building was in the process of being insured but sadly, the documentation was not yet finalized, leaving the property uninsured.

Notwithstanding, the school’s management, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, is quickly moving to provide temporary accommodations for all of the students that were displaced.

Parents are advised to maintain contact with their child’s/childrens’ respective class teachers to stay abreast of all ongoing developments, as they become available.

We thank the Government of Guyana and all of the agencies that were on the ground, within minutes of this unfortunate event, to offer support.

We also thank the many parents for their cooperation and trust in our systems that are being put in place to recover.
