Tuition Fee Free Funds

Education Minister, Nick Kuman, revealed this in parliament on Thursday.

He said this when responding to Wabeg MP, Dr Lino Tom, who raised a series of questions, one of which was on the TFF policy.

Dr Lino Tom asked Minister Kuman began his series of questions on why the Government has not paid the promised 3 per cent pay increase to Teachers’ Salaries agreed to in 2016.

He asked when the increment will be paid and as well as the TFF.

Kuman said the teacher’s increment could not be paid simply because of the tightening economy.

Kuman said in Parliament that the money was available and will pay schools beginning next week.

“By next week the first batch of TFF will be paid. I’ve got money in the central bank now, I will pay it to all the schools in the country,” he said.

Kuman has also urged all open regional members to meet any shortfalls of school in their respective jurisdictions in the case  that the TFF funds were not sufficient.
