A TEAM from the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL), on Friday, conducted an outreach in Region Two and assisted those who wanted to apply for programmes.

The team was headed by Programme Manager for GOAL in Region Two, Anjanie Singh.

Singh and her team met with young people at the Anna Regina Town Council, where persons were guided on how to apply for a GOAL programme.

Persons from throughout the region came out to apply and some even came to follow-up on the status of their applications.

Singh told this publication that the GOAL team has been going to various regions assisting individuals to fill out their application forms. She advised persons to view the different programmes on www.goal.edu.gy.

Singh added that persons used the opportunity to visit the team at Anna Regina and raised their concerns. She said that she was happy to see the interest that the outreach generated.

Noting that the Government of Guyana was committed to the development of the country’s human resources by offering online scholarships, she said that the initiative will help meet the demands of the booming oil and gas industry.

“Our goal is to deliver advanced and accessible academic programmes and our vision is to empower and educate every Guyanese person through quality education,” Singh explained.

There are various fields of study which include vocational certificates, undergraduate diplomas, undergraduate degrees, postgraduate diplomas and postgraduate degrees.

It is all being done with the intention of securing a better future through online learning. GOAL, through partnerships with several international universities, has been providing a myriad of pertinent academic and vocational programmes.

Essequibians were very happy to have the team present to assist persons in filling their applications and to advise them on the way forward.
