Parents have welcomed the news of the primary school book grant, announced by Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley today.
Under the initiative, a grant of $100 will be made available for each primary school student for whom books have to be bought for them to participate in the school system.
The Prime Minister says it is aimed at removing inequalities in the local education system, easing the burden on parents and ultimately creating more opportunities for students to access education.
