– as GTT, MOE sign MOU to support online learning
The Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GTT) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Education (MOE) to zero rate several educational websites to support online learning.
In a statement, GTT said persons visiting educational websites will be able to browse – and learn- without an internet data plan. Among the zero-rated websites are Education: profuturo.education, essentialschools.org, code.org, wikipedia.org, educationgy.org, guyanalearningchannel.com and Weather: (entire site) hydromet.gov.gy
GTT’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Justin Nedd said the company is always willing to collaborate to rise above challenges in the society.
“We are happy to partner with the Ministry in supporting online learning during this pandemic. We acknowledge the effort of the Ministry, those in the teaching profession, parents and guardians to ensure that learning continues apace – it is therefore our hope that our contribution will go a long way in molding the minds of our future generation,” Nedd stated.
Chief Planning Officer (ag) at the MOE, Nicola Johnson, said the Ministry is grateful for the company’s partnership in helping to meet the learning needs of students and teachers across Guyana.
