DeJonge added, that for the new school year there has been adjustments and delivery has been enhanced in multiple ways. “ We want to enhance technology a little more as it relates to the delivery of the curriculum,” He has partnered with an overseas based Guyanese  and now they have a computer lab to offer the ‘Introduction to Computers and Coding. Other subjects added to this year’s curriculum include Entrepreneurship Training, Management Skills Training, Customer Service and Marketing which will be joined with the Ministry of Education’s curriculum to prepare a more rounded student for the world of work.
