CaribEd

Thank you Today Show for featuring us in this terrific video!

How a group of college students are helping Caribbean students during the COVID-19 pandemic Shawn Shivdat, a junior college student, created his organization CaribEd in order to provide educational aid to underprivileged Guyanese students during the pandemic.

Thank you BostInno for this wonderful feature and interview with our founder, Shawn Shivdat. Check it out for a sneak peak into some new initiatives we have planned for CaribEd in the coming months!

CaribEd is bridging the internet access gap for Guyanese students amid the pandemic The primary focus of CaribEd is to get as many educational materials into the hands of Guyanese students as possible prior to the National Grade Six Assessment Exam, an exam that can determine someone’s chances at upward mobility.

The Caribbean Education Project has now started creating study materials for the Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment (CPEA). We as a team are hard at work writing, editing, and distributing materials to help students prepare for the mathematical, language, civic, and scientific sections of the exam. Please visit our website to learn more and to access these materials, and spread the word to parents and students who may benefit! https://www.caribed.org/

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Caribbean Education Project! Today marks the beginning of the National Grade Six Assessment, and our project has made an impact. With your help, we were able to raise $2,300 and distribute over 200,000 pages of study materials to students in the Caribbean. Huge thanks to everyone who came together to help students achieve their best!

There are only two days until the National Grade Six Assessments in Guyana, and students are hard at work preparing with our materials. Help us reach even more students by donating to our materials distribution fundraiser, and by spreading the word!!

The Caribbean Education Project is dedicated to helping students perform their best and secure their future. Right now, we need your help raising funds to distribute our free materials to students in Guyana. Please visit our website to make a donation to our cause - you can allow these students to receive the assistance they need. For every donation of $2, a student in rural Guyana can access detailed explanations for all sections of their upcoming high-stakes exam. As the exam is scheduled for July 1st, we urgently need your assistance to reach as many students as possible before this deadline! Visit our site now to donate: https://www.caribed.org/donate.html

Our team of college students across the US and in Guyana is driven to restore hope to Guyanese students left behind amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic and an ongoing political crisis. Our team creates and distributes high-quality exam preparation materials for 11- and 12- year old students lacking internet access who are scheduled to take the high-stakes Guyana National Grade Six Assessment. The exam, which is traditionally used as a secondary school placement exam, has less than a 50% passing rate and determines students’ secondary school eligibility. For 11-year old Caribbean students, passing the exam could mean the difference between having the opportunity to pursue a successful career or having limited resources for upward mobility.

We believe that it is unfair to test students without providing them with adequate preparation materials, especially considering that students have been unable to go to school due to the COVID-19 lockdown and 70% of families in Guyana lack internet access. Therefore, we have partnered with The Caribbean Voice, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, to serve as a fiscal sponsor for our emergency education campaign. In partnership with the Guyana Chronicle, we are printing and distributing 200,000 pages of our materials to students in regions lacking internet access through ground and air transportation.

We need your help to ensure students without internet access can have the opportunity to achieve their potential. For every donation of $2, a student in rural Guyana can access detailed explanations for all sections of their upcoming high-stakes exam. As the exam is scheduled for July 1st, we urgently need your assistance to reach as many students as possible before this deadline! Donate now at https://www.caribed.org/donate.html
