The Ministry has already engaged TAMCC and NEWLO to ensure a smooth transition period, as new applicants and returning students prepare for the commencent of the new school term.

Data is already being collected for those who meet the criteria for the waiver of tuition fees. The institutions have expressed their commitment to work with the Ministry of Education to inform students of the next steps as it relates to this policy.
