*Over 300 000 children may drop out of school due to inadequate budget allocation for BEAM* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?sl Over 300 000 vulnerable children stand at risk of drop out of school after government allocated inadequate funds to the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM). This program pays school fees for needy children. BEAM used to be mainly funded by donors, but most withdrew in 2014 citing donor fatigue amid allegations of misuse of the funds. The ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare was allocated only $10 million dollars even though it needs $105 million dollars, meaning that a good number of children under BEAM may be forced to drop out. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
