The recipient of a national bursary for tertiary education, who could not access it because of varying positions taken by the Ministry of Education, has been awarded $500,000 in compensation.
Last week, High Court Judge Joan Charles ordered the compensation for Ajay Bachan, of Carapichaima, as she upheld his constitutional case against the ministry over its conduct.
The case, pursued by Bachan’s lawyers led by Anand Ramlogan, SC, of Freedom Law Chambers, was connected to his decision to switch his field of study and tertiary institution in 2021.
