Guyana's Min­is­ter of Ed­u­ca­tion, Priya Man­ickc­hand, says the new­ly launched Guyana Dig­i­tal School in­tro­duces an in­no­v­a­tive plat­form de­signed to en­sure stu­dents coun­try­wide ex­cel at their ex­am­i­na­tions.

The school pro­vides eq­ui­table ac­cess to high-qual­i­ty on­line learn­ing re­sources to stu­dents in every re­gion and is aligned with the gov­ern­ment’s plan for a mod­ernised and ef­fec­tive ed­u­ca­tion sys­tem.

Ed­u­ca­tion of­fi­cials said that 2, 400 stu­dents have reg­is­tered with the school one week af­ter its in­tro­duc­tion here, and Man­ickc­hand, who in­tro­duced the plat­form to stu­dents at the Abram Zuil Sec­ondary School in Re­gion Two on Mon­day, ex­pressed con­fi­dence in the school’s po­ten­tial to catal­yse ed­u­ca­tion­al ad­vance­ment.
