roughly how many people have smartphones in Guyana?


As of early 2025, approximately 600,000 people in Guyana are estimated to have a smartphone. This figure represents around 72% of the country's population. 
Key details about smartphone and internet usage in Guyana:
  • Total connections: There were 700,000 cellular mobile connections active at the start of 2025. This figure is higher than the number of smartphone users because it includes people with basic-feature phones and those who have more than one mobile connection.
  • Mobile broadband: Data from GSMA Intelligence in early 2025 indicates that over 85% of mobile connections in Guyana can be considered "broadband" (3G, 4G, or 5G), though this does not directly translate to mobile internet usage for all connections.
  • Internet users: In early 2025, there were 681,000 total internet users in Guyana, an online penetration rate of about 81.7%. Since most internet access is mobile, this number gives a strong indication of smartphone use.
  • Methodology: The number of smartphone users is a close estimate. While reports do not state the exact number, the widespread internet and social media use via mobile connections provides a strong basis for the figure

"Education in Guyana is provided largely by the Government of Guyana, through the Ministry of Education and its arms in the ten different regions of the country. Guyana's education system is a legacy from its time as British Guiana, and is similar to that of the other anglophone member states of the Caribbean Community, which are affiliated to the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC). School curricula, funding, standards and other policies are set by the central government and implemented through the Ministry of Education and related agencies. The Education System is divided into eleven districts, ten of which correspond to the national administrative and geographical regions of the country, while the capital, Georgetown, is treated as a separate education district, district 11.[4] With 8.3% of its GDP spent on education, Guyana sits with Cuba, Iceland, Denmark and Botswana as among the few countries with top spending on education"
