Investment in education remains a top priority for government.
This was highlighted by the Acting Prime Minister and Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum during a budget consultation at FNU Samabula.
Sayed-Khaiyum says on average, government allocates $700 million to the education sector.
He further says they did not stop free education even though government revenue went down by 50 percent.
Sayed-Khaiyum adds they still had TELS and they made some adjustments but now as the economy gets better they want to continue with that.
Sayed-Khaiyum will deliver the National Budget on the 15th of next month.
