— compliments of GTT

AS students from Karamat and Pine Ground Primary Schools prepare to sit the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) in August, GTT donated SIMs with 10GB data for the next two months.
According to a release, students of the two schools would now be able to access classes and other educational websites to assist with their online learning given the current COVID-19 pandemic. GTT’s Marketing Communications Manager, Nicola Balram, reminded, this is not the company’s first SIM and data donation to schools during the pandemic.

“With the company’s promise to strengthen our community and reliably connect our customers, we are adamant in ensuring that our younger generation has access to education. Since last year, we donated SIMs and data to over 200 students across the country to strengthen the access to online learning. It is our hope that this additional donation provides the aid to these students as they prepare for their exams in August,” Balram said. Distributing the SIMs to the students is Business Support Supervisor, Deoraj Husain, who thanked GTT for its support to the students of the community that he is close to. “I know this gesture by the company is greatly appreciated by the students, parents and teachers of these schools. The smiles on the parents’ faces when receiving the SIMs were priceless.” In October, GTT signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education to zero rate several educational websites in support of Online learning in Guyana, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
