GUYANA – Guyana’s government says it will pay $25,000 to parents of each of the 20 children burned to death in a fire at a state-run high school dormitory in May.
The fire killed 19 female students and the son of a school administrator.

Officials say one of the students deliberately set the fire, and she was arrested and charged with murder.
Meanwhile, the government is preparing to appoint a commission of inquiry into the tragedy in the coming weeks.
