Prime Minister Matthew Wale says his government remains committed to deliver free education in Solomon Islands.
Speaking to local media outside Government House yesterday following the swearing-in of 16 Cabinet Ministers, PM Wale assured the public that free education remains one of the key priorities of his administration.
“There will be free education, be assured of that,” the Prime Minister told journalists.
PM Wale said the implementation timeline would depend on how quickly the Government receives the necessary data from the Ministry of Education and relevant agencies.
“If I can get the data from the Ministry of Education and the various agencies in time, then we might put it through the revised budget halfway this year,” he said.
“But if it is late, definitely beginning of next year. We will put it through the budget for next year.”
The Prime Minister reiterated that his government is determined to ensure free education becomes a reality for Solomon Islands families.
“There will be free education, you can be assured of that,” he added.
The announcement comes as the newly formed Wale-led Government begins outlining its key policy priorities following the completion of its full Cabinet line-up this week.
