Ministry of Education, Guyana
Eliminating Illeracy, Modernising Education & Strengthening Tolerance
As Digicel Guyana continues its social responsibility, it has completed the rehabilitation of the Kingston Practical Instruction Centre which began in July 2015.
The rehabilitation was done in collaboration with the Ministry of Education with the company spending over US$10, 000.
Director of Sport, Christopher Jones said that the recently concluded Inter-Guiana Games (IGG) was quite revealing.
In an interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA), Jones stated that Guyana does not have sports as an integral part of its schools’ curriculum, but its athletes performed to the best of their ability.
The rumour that school was cancelled for today, Monday, October 31, 2016, was successfully dispelled by the Ministry of Education and the Department of Public Information.
The Government Information Agency (GINA) visited schools today, to garner the response of parents and students to the misinformation posted on social media.
The One Laptop Per Teacher (OLPT) initiative is just another tier in government’s push to contextualise and implement teachers’ professional development in Information Communication Technology (ICT) in education.
ICT Coordinator in the Ministry of Education, Marcia Thomas in a recent interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA) explained that, for years teachers were being trained to use the laptop and to harness other ICT tools to effectively support high quality teaching and learning in schools.
The Ministry of Education has sought to advise the general public that schools nationwide will be in session tomorrow Monday, October 31st, 2016.As such, the Ministry is requesting of parents and students not to pay heed to the irresponsible rumour that school will not be in session and act accordingly.
