The World Bank has approved a US$6.7m ($1.4b) grant from the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) for the Guyana Education Sector Programme Project.

A release yesterday from the World Bank said that the project aims to improve learning in nursery schools, expand technology use in primary schools, and heighten functionality of the national education management information system.  

“Guyana’s education sector has made progress in the last 15 years,” said Ozan Sevimli, World Bank Resident Representative for Jamaica and Guyana.
