4,600 students already registered for Guyana’s Digital school

President Dr Irfaan Ali has indicated that 4,600 students have already registered for Guyana’s new digital school, which will soon be accessible to learners across the entire Caribbean.

“4, 600 have already registered. This school will be available for all of the Caribbean.

“So you will have students from every single country in the region studying at the Guyana digital school,” President Ali said on Thursday night at the opening of International Building Expo 2025.

He noted that the initiative will not only revolutionise access to education but also strengthen ties between nations.

“It allows us to build regional integration and create regional networking among our children,” Dr Ali said.

The digital school is part of the government’s wider push to expand education opportunities utilizing technology to connect students, regardless of their location. Already, the initiative has been rolled out in several schools including the Abram Zuil Secondary School on the Essequibo Coast and Vergenoegen Secondary School.

The platform offers interactive lessons, digital textbooks, and educational videos. It also features live, timetabled lessons where students can interact with teachers, and Artificial Intelligence to identify and address individual learning gaps.
