The Ministry of Education is pleased to announce the start of the issuing of QR codes to support parents in accessing school supplies and uniforms under the School Supplies and Uniform Assistance Programme.
QR Codes are a digital solution used to facilitate cashless transactions. Parents who requested assistance under the programme and were approved can now check their phones for the monetary value via QR codes, which are sent out in batches via text messages from the contact number 1 (878) 231-3486 or email [email protected].
Once the QR Code is received, parents must proceed to a vendor authorised by the Ministry of Education to collect the school uniforms and supplies.
