NARESH JAGNANAN MAKING A NAME FOR WAKENAAM

Wakenaam is a Dutch word meaning ‘Waiting for a name’, but the Essequibo island that bears that name has long had reasons to be proud. Of recent, one of those reasons is the young scholar Naresh Jagnanan. In 2021, when he was then 17, Naresh became the Caribbean’s top business student at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate examinations.
He then pursued sixth-form studies at Queen’s College and sat the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE). Not only did he perform well but he emerged as the Caribbean’s top CAPE student last year.
Now, Naresh is attending the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, studying business and politics.
The News Room’s Vishani Ragobeer and Avidesh Narine recently travelled to Wakenaam to learn more about Naresh’s story…
