The Ministry of Education, Innovation, Youth, Sports and Culture's (MEIYSAC) Deputy Minister, Dino Ballotti, officially opened the first deliberative session of the newly constituted National Task Force on Free Education in tertiary institutions today.
The United Democratic Front (UDF) has pledged to implement free education, provide basic income grants for the unemployed, and promote equal wealth distribution if the party wins the upcoming elections.
Cabinet has approved an Education Grant Policy to reduce existing inequities and provide an efficient and equitable funding mechanism.
The goal is to ensure that schools and learners from different socio-economic backgrounds have access to adequate resources for full participation in education.
