The bus fare exercise has ended last week and the Education Ministry is overwhelmed at how Head Teachers and Principals, have returned the balance of bus fares from their respective schools.
While the exercise is still in progress, the Ministry is thankful that our teachers have upheld the Teachers’ Code of Ethics and the Public Service Commissions’ Code of Conduct in returning public funds.
That is very encouraging indeed and these teachers must be commended for their honesty and loyalty to a program, implemented by Government for underprivileged segments of society, whose children travel by bus.
At present, District Education Offices are receiving the balance of bus fares from their respective schools.
Minister for Education, National Heritage, Culture and Arts, Youth and Sports, Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment, Mr Filipe Bole
