Oppositon Lobbies For “Uniform Grants” To Assist Parents Ahead Of Schools’ Reopening

The Opposition, United National Congress, continues to petition the Government to offer assistance to parents in this country who may be experiencing difficulties in preparing their children for the return to physical classes when schools reopen next week.

Opposition Leader, Kamla Persad-Bissessar is suggesting that this be done through a one-time uniform grant.

Speaking at the UNC’s Monday Night Forum, Mrs Persad-Bissessar highlighted the plight of many parents not being able to afford new school uniforms for their children due to financial constraints as a result of the covid19 restrictions over the last two years.

Citing the escalation of food and gas prices, Mrs Persad-Bissessar implored the Government’s consideration as she said parents would be thankful for that help.
