In a continued effort to promote digital learning through the Guyana Digital School, Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, visited Abram Zuil Secondary School on the Essequibo Coast in Region Two on Monday.

This initiative, which aims to transform education through technology, has seen enthusiastic participation from students, teachers, and parents alike.

The Minister’s visit to Abram Zuil Secondary follows previous engagements at St. Rose’s High School and North Ruimveldt Multilateral School, where students were also encouraged to register for the platform. With these visits, the total number of registrants has now reached 2,400 – demonstrating a growing interest in digital education.

First announced by His Excellency, President Dr. Irfaan Ali, in May 2024, the Guyana Digital School is a forward-thinking initiative designed to enhance learning accessibility by providing students with a dynamic online platform for academic enrichment. It offers interactive lessons, digital textbooks, educational videos, and personalized learning paths to support students in various subject areas.

During her engagement at Abram Zuil Secondary, Minister Manickchand underscored the critical role of digital learning in modern education. She emphasized that the platform is designed to bridge educational gaps, cater to diverse learning needs, and empower students with 21st-century skills.

The Minister also highlighted that access to quality education should not be limited by geography, making initiatives like the Guyana Digital School essential for students in both urban and rural communities.

Teachers and students at Abram Zuil Secondary welcomed the initiative, noting its potential to supplement classroom instruction, provide additional learning resources, and facilitate self-paced learning. The platform also allows students to revise content at their convenience, reinforcing concepts taught in the classroom.

The Ministry of Education remains committed to expanding the reach of the Guyana Digital School, ensuring that more students across the country have access to innovative learning tools that will enhance their academic performance.

As registration continues, more schools will be engaged to ensure that every child in Guyana has the opportunity to benefit from this digital revolution in education.
