Fulfilling its commitment to modernize education nationwide, the Government of Guyana has rolled out major digital learning upgrades in Region 10 (Upper Demerara–Berbice), with Linden’s secondary schools now connected to the Guyana Digital School platform. The initiative also includes the distribution of laptops to students and teachers, advancing the country’s mission to bridge the digital divide and unlock new opportunities for learners.
The Guyana Digital School platform is a cornerstone of the Ministry of Education’s technology-driven strategy. It delivers interactive lessons, online textbooks, virtual assessments, and other digital resources designed to enrich learning experiences and extend education beyond traditional classrooms. For Linden’s schools, this represents a transformative shift toward accessible, modern, and inclusive education (Ministry of Education, 2024).
A critical component of the program is ensuring equitable access to technology. Hundreds of laptops have been provided to students and teachers across Region 10, preloaded with educational software, offline resources, and safety controls to ensure appropriate use. This distribution guarantees that all students, regardless of background, can fully participate in the digital learning environment (Department of Public Information, DPI, 2025).
Teachers in Linden have also received dedicated training sessions through the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD), preparing them to integrate these digital tools effectively in their teaching. The training emphasizes strategies for interactive lessons, personalized learning, and improved student performance monitoring. By empowering educators, the program aims to create a more dynamic, engaging, and student-centered approach to learning.
Government representatives have underscored that these efforts are not merely about providing devices, but about equipping young people with the tools and skills they need for the 21st-century workforce and the emerging digital economy. “We want students to have not just screens, but meaningful access to the world,” noted the Ministry of Education during recent school engagements.
This initiative signals a major step forward in building a knowledge-based society, ensuring that Region 10’s students are prepared for a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Through the integration of the Guyana Digital School platform and comprehensive teacher support, the government is redefining education delivery in Linden—opening windows to the world and empowering the next generation to shape their own futures.

Empowering Linden’s Classrooms: Region 10 Embraces the Digital School Revolution
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
t is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
