On another educational front, the Ministry of National Education, Primary Education, and Sports announced the extension of the registration period for students applying for boarding or school canteen support for the academic year 2025-2026. This announcement was made on Thursday, May 8, 2025, due to certain technical constraints that prevented many families from completing the registration process on time.
This extension is aimed at parents and guardians of students who wish to receive social support for school meals or boarding facilities at public educational institutions. The ministry emphasized that the registration process can be completed directly via the "Student Portal" platform using the student's identification number and secret code.
The ministry also encouraged parents to seek assistance from the administration of their child's educational institution to ensure that as many eligible students as possible can benefit from this important social support, particularly in rural areas.
The targeted beneficiaries of this grant are sixth-grade students from rural backgrounds who are entering the first year of middle school during the 2025-2026 academic year. This group is prioritized in the context of policies aimed at reducing school dropout rates and promoting education in rural areas.
To apply for the grant through the Student Portal, parents must follow these steps:
- Access their email to receive the new secret code.
The deadline for submitting applications is Saturday, May 31, 2025, and the Ministry of National Education has urged all parents to expedite the completion of the necessary procedures before this date to avoid any delays that could impact their children's eligibility for the support.
For more information, parents can directly contact the administration of the relevant educational institution or the regional directorate affiliated with the ministry for necessary clarifications or technical assistance.
