Prime Minister Matthew Wale said the Free Education policy will begin in January next year. 

Mr Wale announced this during his speech at Lalana community, Ward 30, on Sunday, June 21. 

He said this is to free up more time to seek funds and deal with important mechanisms and areas that need to be addressed before implementing the GREAT government reform policy. 

He said under his GREAT government, they will need to look at vital areas such as revenue before introducing it. 

“We will begin the Free Education that you have heard about since I was elected as Prime Minister in January.

“We had planned to start with it in semester two, but we don’t have enough revenue to get started.

“So, we will look closely at the area and put in place what is needed first before it is rolled out,” he said.

Wale said he will use his overseas visits to seek funding assistance for the free education policy.

Meanwhile, he appeals to the MPs from the opposition group who have been opposing the free education policy to be patient, as his GREAT government wants to show what they can do for the people of this nation.

Wale said that whatever his GREAT government is pursuing is directed by God, who is the provider of everything.

“For my brother who has opposed this free education policy, you’ll see in January when we have done it,” he said.

Wale also calls on the people of Aoke/Langalanga to continue supporting his GREAT government with their prayers, as they believe in God to lead them and serve the people of this country.
