The disbursement of the government’s $15,000 education cash grant will begin in a few months, according to Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Nigel Dharamlall.
“In the next few months, we will distribute the $15,000 for every schoolchild, the school grant that [former President David] Granger took away in 2015. So this year every schoolchild will receive their $15,000,” he told residents of Black Bush Polder on Monday.
Additionally, Dharamlall pointed out, that pension and public assistance have also increased this year, “so a lot of money is being put into building the human social development of people.”
