(Kaieteur News) – The Ministry of Education has announced that for the first time, fifth form students across Guyana will be able to access and pursue the drivers’ theory curriculum directly through the Digital School platform.
The ministry stated that the landmark initiative was the focus of a strategic meeting held on Friday between Education Minister Sonia Parag, Minister of Home Affairs, Oneidge Walrond, and Minister of Labour and Manpower Planning, Keoma Griffith.
Having access to pursue the drivers’ theory, students will graduate secondary school fully equipped with essential road safety and road use knowledge.
“Beyond empowering our youth, this transition also modernises the professional advancement process for members of the Guyana Police Force by moving all promotional testing to a transparent and efficient digital environment,” the ministry reported.
Further, the Education Ministry stated that this collaborative effort reflects the Government’s commitment to equipping both students and workforce with the modern digital tools necessary for success in a rapidly evolving nation.
In a separate post, Minister Walrond noted that the discussions focused on ensuring the system is inclusive and accessible, particularly for users with lower literacy levels, while also addressing stakeholder representation and key operational requirements for implementation.
This initiative, the minister stated, will establish a centralised, transparent digital record linking training and examination outcomes to national identification and biometric systems, thereby strengthening accountability, efficiency, and integrity across the process.
The initiative follows an announcement by President Irfaan Ali that all vital examinations will be administered through the Digital School platform.
