Georgetown: After months of development and testing, the Ministry of Education (MOE) will be launching its new Website, on Wednesday July 16, 2014. This new Website is in line with the Ministry’s efforts to meet the needs of the modern dynamic global environment of which Guyana’s education system is a part. An interactive portal with access to a wide variety of essential online information concerning the local education sector, this new website is designed to be easily utilized by parents, teachers and students of all grades. The Ministry sees the establishment of this new Website as critical to further enhancing public engagement and interaction.
Commenting on the establishment of this new Website, the Honorable Minister of Education, Ms. Priya Manickchand said: “We function in a modern world where Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play critical roles in our communication processes. The Ministry of education recognizes this and is pleased to be a part of the progressive march of technology, by designing this new interactive Website, geared towards providing greater online visibility for the Ministry, as well as useful information on the education sector to all our stakeholders.”
The MOE is continuing to further establish a greater presence online. With almost 14,000 Facebook Friends, the Ministry intends to strategically capitalize on its growing online presence, to further engage and influence its online community, through meaningful content that is both current and relevant.
As the MOE launches its Website on Wednesday July 16, 2014 at 10:00h, persons are asked to log on to www.education.gov.gy and be a part of this historical event via live stream.
