GMSA Supports the Launch of the Guyana Digital School Platform: A Transformative Step Toward National Digital Literacy, Educational Equity, and Future-Ready Skills

Georgetown, Guyana, Dec 6, 2025: As we stand on the threshold of a significant milestone in Guyana’s educational journey, the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association (GMSA) expresses support and excitement for the launch of the Guyana Digital School Platform. This initiative is a bold step towards reshaping how our children learn, how teachers facilitate learning, and how our nation prepares for a future defined by innovation, accessibility, and lifelong digital fluency.

The GMSA, through its ICT Sub-Sector, stands ready to collaborate with government agencies, educational institutions, technology partners, teachers, and private-sector stakeholders to build content, strengthen digital access, support platform adoption, and deepen digital literacy.

For too long, access to quality education and world-class resources has been limited by geography, infrastructure, or financial constraints. With this platform, learning becomes democratized: whether through mobile devices, community learning hubs, school networks, or home access, every student now has the opportunity to participate, learn confidently and succeed.

Transformational digital infrastructure can be, not for business performance, but for families, communities, and national competitiveness. The Digital School Platform bridges the gap between aspiration and accessibility. It empowers students and educators with practical tools to excel in a modern digital economy, fosters a culture of continuous learning, and strengthens Guyana’s position among other nations that prepare their youth for the future of work.

We extend our sincere congratulations to His Excellency, President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali, whose visionary leadership continues to advance Guyana’s digital transformation agenda. As noted during the official launch, this initiative reflects a powerful national commitment to equitable access, educational innovation, and human development. Through this initiative, Guyana opens new doors of opportunity for every learner, ensuring that the next generation is equipped with the skills and confidence to thrive in a competitive and digitally connected world.

This launch also sends a powerful message to businesses, investors, and international partners: Guyana is serious about building a knowledge-driven, digitally empowered workforce. A strong educational backbone, supported by technology, content, and training, is the foundation for innovation, entrepreneurship, economic diversification, and inclusive development. Over time, the ripple effects of this platform will be seen in more resilient communities, stronger institutions, forward-thinking enterprises, and a generation ready to lead Guyana’s continued transformation.

To the teachers, students, parents, development partners, and contributors who worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life, thank you. To every learner who logs in to explore, study, and grow, this platform was built for you. Embrace it with curiosity and confidence, knowing that your success shapes not only your future, but the future of Guyana.
