This affected beneficiaries and their parents and guardians. > She urged the central government to pay in time so that the quality of education improves. > The chairperson (councillor Sinikiwe Mutanda) concurred. Some results of Beam beneficiaries were withheld pending full payment of all outstanding school fees. He said council was engaging the Government at the provincial level to ensure the Beam funds are released. BEAM was established in 2001 by the government of Zimbabwe as part of the Enhanced Social Protection Programme (ESPP) the objective was to provide basic education to everyone in Zimbabwe including students that could not afford the school fees such as Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).
