For the last 30 years, the South American government of Guyana has steadily been drained of its best school teachers. Surrounding Caribbean and North American countries have enticed them away with promises of higher salaries and superior teaching conditions. This has been a key factor in the deterioration of Guyana's educational system, considered during the 1960s to be the jewel of the Caribbean.
Guyana's steep economic decline of the 1980s resulted in a large exodus of its educated professionals in search of employment. Nearly 400,000 Guyanese now work abroad, quite a large group considering the country's modest population of about 700,000. Many of these emigrants are teachers who were actively recruited to teach abroad after completing their teacher training college.
