Report on school confrontation was inaccurate

Dear Editor,

I wish to categorically state that the information published in your September 6th Kiskadee Watch article concerning an alleged physical confrontation at New Amsterdam Secondary School is inaccurate.

There has never been an incident of the nature described in your publication at New Amsterdam Secondary School. The article therefore creates a misleading and damaging impression of the school, its students, staff and administration.

We respectfully request that you immediately verify the information, retract the inaccurate report and publish a clear correction to prevent further circulation of misinformation.

As a media organisation, accuracy and responsible reporting are essential, particularly when reporting on matters involving a school and minors.

We look forward to your prompt response and corrective action.

Yours sincerely,

Wahid Omar

Principal

New Amsterdam Secondary School

That is deliberate. We believe reliable journalism about Guyana should be available to everyone from the hinterland to the coast, including those who cannot afford to pay for it. But investigating, reporting and publishing every story takes time, energy and resources. Keeping our journalism open depends on the commitment of readers who can chip in and contribute to help cover the cost for everyone.
