GOVERNMENT’S sustained efforts to ensure education for all has seen more than 1,5 million vulnerable children, comprising one third of 4,5 pupils in schools across the country, receiving free education under the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM).
This has also seen the country increase its child protection capabilities through such programmes as BEAM, aimed at guaranteeing that every child of school-going age is accorded the right to education.
Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said BEAM had gone so far as now providing not just tuition but also examination fees and stationery.
The programme was introduced 10 years ago to help vulnerable children with tuition, examination fees and stationery as one of the many programmes and policies that promote children’s rights.
