Education department school uniform vouchers for distribution this week

voucherGeorgetown: Departments of education have started receiving school uniform vouchers and distribution will begin in the new week in regions two, three, four, five, six, seven, and 10 and in Georgetown.

The Ministry of Education said that parents, guardians and secondary schools students with a national identification card would be able to uplift vouchers from June 20.

The early delivery of vouchers to the regional offices is to facilitate the setting up of region specific documentation mechanisms, delivery vouchers to schools and adequate notification to parents.

The school uniform programme that will continue to assist in reducing the financial burden on families will see one school uniform distributed to every child attending a school in the public education system, from nursery to grade 11.

The ministry says a complete list of vendors where vouchers are redeemable will be posted at the regional education offices and at every school.
