STEMGuyana is set to benefit from the financial support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) through its IDB Lab, which will help some 1,000 children across 40 communities in all ten regions of Guyana.
The IDB in a statement yesterday disclosed that the IDB Lab will be investing US$950,000 in the three-year programme, “Guyana’s Learning Pods – Supporting Success in Education for Vulnerable Children”. This includes technology tools and supplementary learning in Math, English, and Science.
IDB Lab is the IDB Group’s innovation laboratory to promote development through the private sector by identifying, supporting, testing and piloting new solutions to development challenges and seeking to create opportunities for poor and vulnerable populations in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Region.
