“We work to bring out the best in each dish, it is not just a school for cooking, but our students are thought the fundamentals of Home Economics also. Presently, we are working to introduce two major competency-based programmes, which will cover housekeeping and care for the elderly,” she pointed out.

The Vice Principal boasted that the institute is in existence for more than 86 years with high credibility concerning its service delivery, with commendation from several the government and private sector organisations.

The British High Commissioner praised the school for providing satisfactory service at his place of residence, with students mastering proposed British cuisines.

“We all know of the high-end dining spots and give respectable credit to the cuisines but the Carnegie School of Home Economics belongs to Guyana and its people and I want to say what they put out is pure talent and skills,” he emphasised.
