Am investigation by a government commission into a fire that killed 20 children at an Indigenous boarding school in Guyana found multiple errors and systematic failures.

Calling for reforms to avoid a repeat of the May 2023 fire, the report presented to President Irfaan Ali on Friday found there was a delay in seeking help and contacting the fire station.
