bus riding is not good for the school children
when one think of the education standard in guyana which I think is droping and wonder what the ministry of education is doing to raise the education standard. when you look Around the mini bus park during school hours you can find mini bus conductor,s Allowing school girls to travel (Bus ride) on mini buses for long hours during period. school girls who like to bus ride end up being victims of rape sexual assault or some other violent Attack.
I think the ministry of education should put firm systems in place to curb the dus ride problem.
if you like to contact the ministry of education:

I'm glad that someone is writing about this because bus riding can be really dangerous. I used to live in Guyana, but now I live in Canada. It's nice to see some teens that care!

Bus Riding is bad, but first we need to talk about peer pressure to the children and help them to make their own decisions. From personal experience, I know that my reason and the reason of many of my friends to bus ride was because they were convinced by other (whether it was "CUTE" (as they say) conductors or just friends). I think if they're was a fine or penalty for children who bus ride and conductors and drivers who allow them to bus ride, the occurances of this happening would slowly decrease. You have to show children the consequences of this. Let their parents know. I remember when my mom found out that I was bus riding, I thought it was the end of my days. Something must be done. I did it in my pass and trust me, teens must know that it is not good for their image and it can really cause you to get yourself into some situations that you don't need to be in. Some teens may be thinking "How harmful can it be?" From the experiences of someone who knows, IT IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL. I had to work so hard to get my life back on track after I started bus riding. It was not an easy job. Changing people's thought about you is not an easy job. I hope something changes really soon and I hope this situation is dealt with with a firm hand.
