The Ministry of Education says payments under the 2026 School Supplies and Book Grant are expected to begin by September 2, just five days before the new school term begins.
The update comes one day after Guardian Media reported that thousands of parents were still awaiting word on the grant, despite an earlier indication from the Ministry that payments could begin during the week of August 24.
