The computer training centre established in Berbice will benefit sugar workers

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,  

The computer training centre commissioned at Albion, Berbice recently is a worthwhile move. This facility is a timely and necessary one. 

The facility consists of 20 fully operational computer systems and caters to the sugar workers and their children in providing training in the area of information technology. Whenever we hear about sugar workers, it always has to do with unsatisfactory wages and strikes. It is refreshing to see that the government is making efforts to provide this sort of facility for them. 

Mr Donald Ramotar was correct to say that this move will help in the eradication of poverty. There is no doubt that the Government of Guyana is dedicated towards moving the educational sector forward. It is wise on their part to invest in children. The children are the future, thus they need to keep up with the changing world. Being computer literate enables them to keep up with technology.

It is clear that the importance of information communication technology is recognised by the authorities, and this is why President Jagdeo initiated an ICT strategy in an attempt to take Guyana forward. 

Yours sincerely,

Alka Sugrim
