At 68 and 69 years old respectfully, Steven Howard and Bhanmatie Lulsaran are proving that age is no barrier to learning. They were among 47 proud participants who graduated from the Office of the Prime Minister’s Industry and Innovation Unit ICT Training Programme during a simple ceremony held at the Number 56 Primary School on Saturday.

The training programme, which forms part of the Government of Guyana’s broader push to close the digital divide, was designed to equip residents with the skills and confidence needed to navigate an increasingly digital world. From learning how to operate a computer to using essential software, participants gained new tools to enhance their education, careers, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
