Education bureau to rigorously safeguard subsidy funds

The Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) recently reiterated that it will persist in rigorously administering the use of the funds in the Continuing Education Subsidy Scheme, in which each eligible resident is vested with MOP6,000 in funds for training. The bureau reminds participating institutions or companies to comply with the rules on student registrations, attendance and sign-in. Violations of such practices are subject to criminal prosecutions. Residents are also reminded to participate in the courses for which they registered, as forging attendance records is against the law. It disclosed that, so far, a few dozen reports of violations have been received.
