A Smart Classroom was commissioned on Thursday at the Leonora Secondary School in Region Three, Essequibo Islands-West Demerara and is the first such in the region.
A Ministry of Education release stated that Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, who commissioned the Smart Classroom was “extremely” pleased given that it was the first of its kind in Region Three. She inform-ed that additional smart classrooms will be install-ed at other identified schools in the region such as the West Demerara Secondary School, the Parika-Salem Secondary School, and Leguan Secondary School.
Manickchand explained that in cases where some schools do not have a specialist teacher in a particular subject area, a teacher from the Leonora Secondary School can assist those students by conducting lessons virtually without having to travel to the other school that needs his or her tutelage. She added that teachers will be trained to use the facility.
