tuition free fees

Education Department to improve data collection for schools

The development of the program started three years ago and aims to have all the profiles of the school systems in the country captured into one central system.

Minister for Education Nick Kuman said this process makes it easy to distribute the tuition free fees (TFF) payments to all schools.

“We must ensure that profiles for schools are registered in a data base system so we would know vital information like where the school is located, its registration number and level of the school.

K75m TFF for term one disbursed to schools

Minister for Education Nick Kuman confirmed this week that they have collected K55m and K20m last week for TFF.

Kuman said K75m year mark for first half of term one this year has been rolled out to all the schools throughout the country.

He highlighted that no excuse should come from the schools to charge fees.

“We have done well for the government since 2012 with all schools paid 100 percent of TFF.”

He said all 13 441 schools eligible for TFF with 2.2 million students throughout the country have received all the TFF funds since 2012 to 2016.
