Kaieteur News – The Ministry of Education will soon expend some $10M to construct a Smart Classroom at the Kuru Kuru Primary School located on the Linden-Soesdkye Highway.

This was revealed at a recent opening of tenders at the Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPATB) office.

Two contractors have since submitted bids for the project. They are KPL Buildering Concept Inc. and OB General Construction.

This year, with $12 billion set aside to improve educational infrastructure, some 25 smart classrooms are scheduled to be constructed at various schools across the country.

The Smart Classroom initiative initially started back in 2014 when the first was constructed at the North Ruimveldt Secondary School. The initiative is in keeping with the Ministry’s vision of incorporating technology to transform the education sector.

Kaieteur News understands that the smart classrooms are usually equipped with an interactive board, audio system, smart cameras, a wireless television for remote access and motion and voice-activated cameras complete with a face recognition feature.
