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 teachers were, for years, being trained to use the laptop and to harness other ICT tools to effectively support high quality teaching and learning in schools.

The National Sports Commission (NSC) will soon launch the 2017 calendar of activities under the theme ‘Light It Up’.

According to Director of Sports, Christopher Jones, this initiative will give persons the opportunity to participate in any sports or recreational activity after sundown.

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.
