In a second episode devoted to Guyana, Black Journal focuses on that country's educational system as an instrument in nation-building. Visits to various Guyanese classrooms and interviews with Prime Minister Forbes Burnam, Minister of Education Shirley Field Ridley, educators and students, reveal that concepts of black pride, confidence, self-help and national cooperation are the ABC's of Guyana's educational philosophy. Where colonial Guyana sought merely to produce a work force for its masters, the newly-independent Guyana seeks to produce a people with the adequate skills and philosophies needed for nation-building. Therefore its educational curricula include economics, science, technology, agriculture, black history, and black culture.
