More than 20,000 \u00a0vouchers have been distributed under the School Uniform Grant Programme as it entered its final week on Monday.<\/p>

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

Organizers say the total number of vouchers will be calculated and made public after the government initiative comes to an end on Friday 2nd<\/sup> September, 2022.<\/p>\n

It will be the culmination of another successful year of voucher distribution for the programme that began on 4th<\/sup> July, 2022, where each beneficiary receives a pair of regular school uniform.<\/p>

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

Supervisor of the SUGP, Tanesha Mc.Kenzie-James, is encouraging those who intend to, but have not yet done so, to access the programme before time runs out.<\/p>

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

\u201cWe are expecting the remaining parents who have not yet come to make application for their vouchers to come in. We have a number of school orientations that\u2019s going on, we\u2019ve seen a number of parents last week who would have come to make applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we are reminding parents that this is our final week and we will be there from 9 AM until 4PM Monday to Thursday and 9 AM to 12 noon on Friday, 2nd<\/sup> September.\u201d<\/p>

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

Parents joining the programme in the remaining days will be required to present a government issued photo identification card, a birth certificate or any other form of identification for the child, along with an acceptance letter or third-term report of the new registrant.<\/p>\n

For returning beneficiaries, the third-term report must be presented along with a form of identification for the parent or guardian.<\/p>

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

The School Uniform Grant Programme is one of the largest social programmes of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>
