People will now be able to lodge their complaints and grievances against the Education System via a Hot-line.

This was revealed by Education Minister, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, who says this will enable them to deal with complaints received from teachers, parents and students in an effective and practical manner.

We are going to setup a hot line in a few days and we will make those announcements so that people can channel those complains through that and it gives us a better mechanism seeing through these complains.

Meanwhile, Sayed-Khaiyum says the ministry has already started distributing the free weetbix and milk for Year 1 students to schools.

He urged school committees and management to be present at their respective schools to receive these supplies to avoid any complaints.

The 2018 Academic year starts on Monday and the ministry is looking forward to a successful year.
