The Finance Ministry, in collaboration with the Education Ministry, has announced an extension for the application deadline for the $200 Back to School Support program. Originally set to close today at 5 PM, the new deadline is now one week later, with applications due by next Friday, December 13, at 5 PM.
The government is urging all eligible parents and guardians who have not yet completed their application forms to do so and submit them to the respective schools.
This extension provides an additional opportunity for families to secure crucial financial support ahead of the new school term, underscoring the government’s commitment to assisting households during the back-to-school season. It is a hopeful gesture that reflects an understanding of the challenges many parents face as they prepare for their children’s educational needs.
Now, with the extra time to apply, hopefully, more families will take advantage of this program and ease some of the financial burdens associated with school preparations.
