To avoid being scammed by illegitimate private institutions, a parent or a guardian could easily go directly to the Ministry of Education to enquire if a school is, at least, registered.
For technical and tertiary institutions, one can check for their accreditation (official approval or endorsement) with the National Accreditation Council [NAC] of Guyana. Once an institution is accredited by NAC, its name and accreditation status is recorded on the NAC’s website [www.nac.go.gy], thus giving persons a helping hand to choose wisely.
