NEWS RELEASE – Statement of the New Funding Arrangements for Schools

Commentary

We commend and support the expressed intention of PM Holness to give legal support for compulsory access at all levels even at the secondary level from age 3 to 18 years old … to fund same and remove compulsory user fees to ease the burden on parents.

Parents are free to contribute if they can afford same.

An educated populace is more productive.
