*Less Than 1.5 Million Learners Register For BEAM* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ka The Government has expressed concern over the slow uptake of funds meant for pupils from economically disadvantaged families under the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) meant to cater for their fees. The Government is targeting 1.5 million learners across the country’s ten provinces but the number of those who have registered under BEAM falls short of the target. ---------- *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.

Previously, BEAM was limited to tuition fees. Speaking to The Sunday News on Friday, Mavima said he could not readily provide the figures of those who had registered so far. He, however, confirmed that the Government had not reached its target under the programme amid indications that the late start of the new school calendar may have contributed to the low number of learners who have registered under the facility. Said Mavima: > We are coming out of COVID-19, which is part of the main reason, there was a late start to the new school calendar so the registration is still ongoing. > Part of it also needs us to embark on information dissemination about the availability of the resource. There are allegations of corruption in the awarding of funding for learners, with some teachers and officials accused of registering their children ahead of those genuinely in need. *More: The Sunday News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
