GMSA, PSC express support for launch of Guyana Digital School

Describing the launch of the Guyana Digital School Platform as “a bold step towards reshaping how our children learn, how teachers facilitate learning and how our nation prepares for a future defined by innovation, accessibility, and lifelong digital fluency”, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) in a statement Saturday expressed its “support and excitement” for the digital initiative. It further stated that the GMSA, “through its ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Sub-Sector, stands ready to collaborate with Government agencies, educational institutions, technology partners, teachers and private-sector stakeholders to build content, strengthen digital access, support platform adoption and deepen digital literacy.
For too long, access to quality education and world-class resources has been limited by geography, infrastructure or financial constraints. With this platform, learning becomes democratised: whether through mobile devices, community learning hubs, school networks, or home access, every student now has the opportunity to participate, learn confidently and succeed. Transformational digital infrastructure can be, not for business performance, but for families, communities and national competitiveness. The Digital School Platform bridges the gap between aspiration and accessibility. It empowers students and educators with practical tools to excel in a modern digital economy, fosters a culture of continuous learning and strengthens Guyana’s position among other nations that prepare their youth for the future of work.” According to the association, the launch also sends a powerful message to businesses, investors, and international partners that Guyana is serious about building a knowledge-driven, digitally empowered workforce. A strong educational backbone, supported by technology, content and training, is the foundation for innovation, entrepreneurship, economic diversification, and inclusive development. Meanwhile, the Private Sector Commission (PSC), in a post on its official Facebook page on Sunday, declared that the Commission was proud to support the launch of the historic Guyana Digital School, which it described as a truly transformational investment that will reshape education delivery across Guyana and the wider CARICOM region. This initiative will be especially transformative for students in our remote and hinterland communities, ensuring greater access, inclusion and opportunity as Guyana advances into the fourth industrial revolution, it noted, adding that the PSC fully supports the visionary step toward a more connected, innovative and future-ready nation.
