Guyana Digital School begins training of Disciplined Services

 The Guyana Digital School (GDS) has commenced a multi-day training programme aimed at strengthening educational access and digital capacity within Guyana’s Disciplined Services.

The training, which is being held at the Guyana Digital School’s office in Ogle, East Coast Demerara, brings together designated Information and Communication Technology (ICT) support officers from across the country. These officers are being equipped with the skills and knowledge required to support ranks within their respective regions in effectively navigating the Guyana Digital School platform.

The first session engaged officers from the Guyana Police Force, with subsequent sessions scheduled to include participants from the Guyana Defence Force, Guyana Prison Service, and Guyana Fire Service. 

This initiative forms part of a broader national effort to enhance human capital development and expand access to education through digital means. It also supports a directive issued by His Excellency, Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, which calls for a force-wide educational uplift within the Disciplined Services. 

Through this training, the officers will play a critical role in bridging the gap between technology and learning, ensuring that officers across all regions are able to access educational resources, enroll in courses, and track their academic progress on the platform.

The Guyana Digital School remains committed to supporting national development through education, innovation, and capacity building. By empowering members of the Disciplined Services with the tools for academic advancement, the initiative contributes to a stronger, more skilled, and more resilient workforce (Ministry of Education press release)
