Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of General Education says the Ministry of Finance has released one billion South Sudanese pounds in capitation grant meant to support free education in the country.<\/p>\n

The grant will channeled to public primary and secondary schools.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes two weeks after President Kiir ordered national and states authorities to fully implement the policy as stipulated in the interim constitution.<\/p>\n

The order issued on February 6, directed the national Ministry of Finance to immediately release the capitation grant.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists in Juba on Thursday, Education Minister Awut Deng Achuil confirmed the partial release of the grant.<\/p>\n

She says the cash to support the operational costs, will be sent directly to public primary and secondary school bank accounts.<\/p>\n

Minister Awut has cautioned schools against collecting any fees from the learners.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll recipient public schools of the grant must not request parents to pay for registration of children or any other payments,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The education official added that the schools entitled to the capitation grant must present accountability report to the relevant authorities.<\/p>\n

She warned that in the case of failure to comply, the school will be denied further capitation grant.<\/p>\n
