Last quota of 2015 TFF paid

The last quota of the 2015 Tuition Free Fees have been paid into schools accounts says Education Secretary Dr Uke Kombra.

A total of K49.6 million was paid into school's accounts last Wednesday (Jan 27) after the department held back funds allocated for term 4 last year.

The funds were held back to avoid misuse of funds as schools were already going towards the end of the 2015 academic year.

Dr Kombra says the funds released last week and any savings schools may have from previous years should be used to commence the 2016 academic year which begins this week.

He said the Department is now preparing to release about K75 million for term one for the 2016 TFF funds.

A total of K602 million has been allocated and is expected to be released for TFF this year.
