Government Boosts Uniform Aid for Students | Bahamas News
Description
Over 1,400 families in New Providence and Grand Bahama are turning to the government for help getting school uniforms — and this year, they’re getting more support than ever. Social Services Minister Barbara Cartwright announced a $50 boost per child, now allowing high schoolers up to $230 to cover all necessary gear. The program, designed for struggling families — including those with scholarship students or disaster victims — distributes digital gift cards for approved stores, ensuring kids start the year ready to learn. With no comparison data from last year, the minister is optimistic the increased funding better reflects real family needs.
