Hon. Sonia Parag, Minister of Education is encouraging all Guyanese seeking a second chance at education to take advantage of the GROW Programme.

Since 2022, some 4,281 persons have upgraded their qualifications and progressed to bachelor's degree programmes.

Your journey can begin today.

GOAL Scholarships 2026: GROW Programme - Join the 4,281 Graduands Today

When the GOAL Scholarship Programme was launched in 2021 and outreaches began across Guyana, it became clear that many Guyanese wanted to pursue tertiary education but did not have the required qualifications for diploma and bachelor’s degree programmes.

This led to the creation of the GROW Programme, designed to provide a second chance and a pathway to higher education.

Since 2022, 4,281 persons have successfully completed the SCQF and Bachelor’s Foundation Programmes and have progressed into bachelor’s degree studies.

Many individuals who did not complete CSEC or did not achieve their desired grades now have the opportunity to upgrade their qualifications and access further studies through GOAL, CPCE, the University of Guyana, and other international institutions.

The programme reflects a commitment to second chances, lifelong learning, and empowering citizens to reach their full potential.

If you are ready to take the next step, sign up today and begin your journey toward new opportunities.
