President Irfaan Ali on Saturday  said that the Government will continue to roll out programmes to benefit all children, including those from children’s homes.

During a special Christmas ceremony for young people from over a dozen children’s homes, the President said that in order to ensure that the children are given opportunities, he has asked the Ministry of Education to pay special emphasis to their education, including at the tertiary level.

“So all the children from the homes who will finish CXC will get a scholarship under the GOAL programme to pursue your studies.”
