Guyana STELLAR Programme Officially Launched

This evening, Hon. Sonia Parag, Minister of Education, delivered remarks at the official launch of the Guyana STELLAR Programme.

Launched in partnership with ExxonMobil Guyana, this transformative STEM teacher-development initiative will equip 60 pre-service secondary-school teachers with advanced training in science and mathematics education, leadership and evidence-based teaching practices.

As the flagship programme of the Guyana STEM Initiative, Guyana STELLAR seeks to strengthen teaching, learning, leadership and academic rigour while preparing a new generation of STEM educators to foster innovation, critical thinking and discovery in classrooms across Guyana.

The programme forms part of the commitments under a G$100 million Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Government of Guyana and ExxonMobil Guyana to strengthen and expand STEM education nationwide.
