A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), has promised free eduation frin nursery to secondary once in Government. However the party appears reluctant when it comes to the fate of free University Education.
During a recently held symposium, APNU’s Presidential Candidate, David Granger assured that education from nursery to secondary will remain free, while university being offered free of cost remained an area to be discussed as he noted that the party would first have to look at books to ascertain that of the institutions finances.
While noting that local and international sources would have to first be identified to revive the ailing university, he said that the facility is currently beset by several constraints including underpaid lecturers, poor research facility and dilapidated laboratories.
“Its standard has been compromised by the cheap attitude of the Peoples Progressive party, which have aided in the strangulation of the facility,” he said.
Granger promised that an APNU-led government would provide free school transportation, free meals and free uniforms to ensure that children attend school. Steps would be taken, he said, to pay teachers more and increase the retirement age.
