IN a continued effort to modernise education and equip teachers with essential digital skills, the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) recently hosted a series of technology training sessions for educators in Regions Two and Three.
The sessions, held from April 2 to 4, 2025, took place at Leguan Secondary, Abram Zuil Secondary, and Anna Regina Secondary Schools. The training aimed to enhance teachers’ capacity to integrate technology into their classrooms and improve overall teaching and learning experiences.
A key highlight of the programme was the introduction of interactive boards, particularly for Grade 7 classes. Teachers received hands-on guidance on how to utilise these boards effectively to boost student engagement and foster interactive learning environments.
In addition to the interactive board training, educators were also taught valuable skills such as email setup and the use of Microsoft 365 (MS 365) tools — crucial resources for improving communication, collaboration, and administrative efficiency within schools.
Facilitators Mr. Randolph Samaroo and Ms. Kishana Chang of NCERD’s IT Unit expertly guided participants through the training sessions, ensuring that educators were well-equipped to implement the digital tools in their daily teaching practices.
This initiative forms part of NCERD’s broader mission to modernise education across Guyana by empowering teachers with the tools and skills needed for 21st-century teaching.
The training has been well-received by educators, who now feel better prepared to integrate technology into their classrooms, ultimately enriching the learning experiences of students across the regions.
