THE Ministry of Education (MOE) will be launching its new website tomorrow, Wednesday, July 16, 2014. 

The launch will be at 10:00h and persons are asked to log on to www.education.gov.gy and be a part of this historical event via live stream.
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.
After months of development and testing and now the reality of the launch of the MOE website, Minister of Education Priya Manickchand said in a press statement, “We function in a modern world where Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play critical roles in our communication processes. The Ministry of Education recognises 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 website boasts various functions with an interactive portal with access to a wide variety of essential online information concerning the local education sector. Manickchand noted that this new website is designed to be easily utilised 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.
The statement further explained that the information on the site will range from curriculum guides, past test papers, CSEC and CAPE syllabuses, to colouring packets and interactive videos for nursery children, interactive quizzes for primary age children from grades 2-6, tips for parents and teachers as well as a host of education policy documents among other important information.
The MOE is continuing to further establish a greater presence online. With almost 14,000 Facebook friends, the Ministry intends to strategically capitalise on its growing online presence, to further engage and influence its online community, through meaningful content that is both current and relevant.
