Dr Lal says this will be crucial to allocate demand driven scholarships, study loans and grants in enhancing strides towards a knowledge-based economy.

He adds the FCEF is part of oversight committee on Human Capital Development Plan and will be an active participant in the cyclic reviews of HCDP.

FCEF Chief Executive Officer, Kameli Batiweti says the MOU is now recognizing a long-standing issue that the private sector has been advocating on and TSLS has allowed an avenue to address this issue.
