The Ministry of Education’s Radio Station, EDYOU FM has made history by becoming the first local station in Guyana to broadcast in Kamarang and other parts of the Upper Mazaruni, Region 7.

A release yesterday from the Ministry of Education said that the station began operations on Thursday as the government continues to intensify its efforts in bringing distance education through radio to the most remote parts of Guyana.

The release said that the signal is expected to reach riverine communities along the Mazaruni River such as Paruima, Waramadong, Kako, Jawalla, Phillipai and

Imbaimadai among others benefitting thousands of students and residents alike.

EDYOU FM is scheduled to visit Kamarang and surrounding areas to begin distributing radios to schools, the release said.

Residents of Kamarang and surrounding areas can tune into EDYOU Radio on 99.9 FM.
