The State of the World’s Children (SOWC) 2017 report was launched on Tuesday at the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD).
According to a press release from the Ministry of Education, the theme for this year’s report is “Children in a Digital World.” Sylvie Fouet, UNICEF Representative, Guyana and Suriname, said that the report highlights both the benefits and challenges of digital technology and examines digital technology’s impact on children’s lives.
During the launching ceremony, schools from eight administrative regions were connected live using the Smart Classroom at NCERD, the release stated. The UNICEF Representative said that she is looking forward to seeing children in the hinterland connected with their colleagues on the coast to learn from each other, share information and ideas.
