Concerns over TFF policy

National

There are a lot of issues with the tuition fee free (TFF) policy which should be addressed, an official says.
Kabwum education manager Ezekiel Nigo said many schools in the district were not getting TFF funds on time and some had not received the full quarterly payments as promised.
“Many parents thought the Government would pay their children’s fees on time but it didn’t happen. The component of the parental support is not good,” he said.
Nigo said TFF cames in two components – commodity and cash, adding that with the former, the Government should consider delivering materials for remote schools as it takes a lot of money to transport materials via plane.
