President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali says the University of Guyana (UG) is moving toward offering free online programmes for Guyanese living overseas. Both outlets report that Ali made the announcement during an engagement with members of the Guyanese diaspora in Saint Lucia on Tuesday evening. The proposal is described as part of broader government plans to expand access to tertiary education for the diaspora, using online delivery to reach citizens abroad. The reports do not specify which UG programmes would be included, the timeline for implementation, or how eligibility or funding would be handled. However, they consistently frame the initiative as a step to extend educational opportunities beyond Guyana’s borders and to provide additional options for overseas-based Guyanese. The announcements are presented as preliminary, tied to ongoing efforts by the government and UG to develop and roll out the online offerings.
