Badru said the students will receive loans before starting classes to reduce inconvenience. He said the program is sustainable and they have already put in place a system to monitor them from primary schools to form six.

We have developed a joint system with our colleagues in the Ministry of Education and Tasaf, we will be identifying students early so their application will have its priority,” said Badru.
