The annual School Uniform Grant Programme returns in July for the 16<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span> consecutive year and organizers are moving ahead with preparations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Training for customer service agents and data entry clerks has begun ahead of the 5<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span> July start of the programme, with special emphasis on dealing with members of the general public <\/span><\/span>during COVID-19<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SUGP Supervisor, Tanesha Mckenzie-James explained<\/span><\/span>effective immediately,<\/span><\/span> application forms will be available for previous beneficiaries and new applicants to complete and submit via drop boxes at the <\/span><\/span>headquarters of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Creative Industries and at the Multi<\/span><\/span>-purpose Centre for processing to commence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cFor new applicants, supporting documents will be required before submitting the application form. However, for existing beneficiaries, only the completed form will be necessary.<\/span><\/span> We have asked for the principals of all schools to submit <\/span><\/span>promotion lists<\/span><\/span> that we will use <\/span><\/span>on our data system just to verify information,\u201d she noted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Uniform vouchers will be distributed on specific days by surnames to avoid crowding at the SUGP location. The days will be made available shortly. On <\/span><\/span>arrival at the Multi-Purpose C<\/span><\/span>entre, <\/span><\/span>McKenzie-James said <\/span><\/span>persons will be accommodated on the outside, eliminating contact with data clerks.<\/span><\/span> She added<\/span><\/span>customer service <\/span><\/span>agents<\/span><\/span> will accommodate members of the public<\/span><\/span> under tents while<\/span><\/span> the process is completed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the SUGP supervisor, t<\/span><\/span>he vouchers will be for one pair of regular uniform and can be r<\/span><\/span>edeem<\/span><\/span>ed<\/span><\/span>at vendors that <\/span><\/span>were<\/span><\/span> approve<\/span><\/span>d by the Ministry of Education.<\/span><\/span> \u201c<\/span><\/span>We have our returning vendors that most of our parents know and this year we are also pleased <\/span><\/span>to have new additions<\/span><\/span>. They have requested we still print our brochures detailing their locations. <\/span><\/span>Each of our vendors will have a certificate posted in their business to say they are registered <\/span><\/span>under the<\/span><\/span> School Uniform G<\/span><\/span>rant programme (SUGP) for 2021,\u201d<\/span><\/span>Mckenzie-<\/span><\/span>James pointed out.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The 2021 SUGP comes to a close on 27<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span> August, 2021.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
