October 15, 2024 – In a significant boost to higher education access in Region Two, Minister of Education, Priya Manickchand, officially commissioned the Texila American University Study Center in Suddie on the Essequibo Coast.

The new facility, which aims to provide students with modern learning resources and a conducive study environment, was inaugurated in the presence of the Director of the Guyana Online Academy of Learning (GOAL), Dr. Jacob Opadeyi.

The study center will serve as a dedicated space for students in the region who are pursuing higher education through the GOAL program.
