In-care Education Grant
The last component of the ESP is the management of the In-care Education Grant. SACA provides secretariat assistance for the Prison Education Grant, which extends its support to inmates who are pursuing their GCE ‘N’, ‘O’, and ‘A’ levels while still incarcerated.
Individual assessment interviews with the inmates are conducted by SACA’s caseworkers, who then make the necessary recommendations for the grant.
The Education Grant Review Board, comprising of two Superintendents from neutral institutions and the Director of SACA, make the final decisions and consequent allocation of the grants based on the caseworkers’ recommendations.
Applicants, whose release date from prison is prior to the date of examinations, will be inducted into the Case Management Framework Programme (CMFP). This is to help sustain the client’s focus and motivate them to advance on the educational path they have chosen to tread.
