Guyana’s Ministry of Education commissions new AutoCAD laboratories to expand technical and vocational education training at secondary schools. The facilities provide students with practical instruction in computer-aided design (CAD) using software and related tools.

In New Amsterdam, iNews Guyana reports the ministry is commissioning a new AutoCAD Laboratory at New Amsterdam Multilateral Secondary School as part of an $85 million initiative to establish specialised computer laboratories for Industrial Technology across six secondary schools. Guyana Chronicle reports the ministry is also commissioning AutoCAD laboratories at Hope Secondary School and North Ruimveldt Multilateral Secondary School, describing the labs as supporting students’ design and technical skills aligned with emerging career opportunities.

While the outlets agree on the purpose and the ministry’s role in commissioning AutoCAD labs, they differ in the number and location of installations highlighted—one focuses on New Amsterdam as part of a broader multi-school investment, while the other emphasizes two specific schools and frames the expansion under TVET development. Both describe improved access to hands-on training for students through the new computer laboratories.
