In its attempt to make preschool free for Bahamians, Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis said the government will provide annual vouchers of $2,000 for students to attend private preschools.

“We have already launched a major preschool initiative that will continue to expand throughout the country,” Minnis said on Friday.

“To expand this initiative, the Ministry of Education will partner with approved private preschools through a voucher program for 500 to 1,000 spots annually. Upon application to the universal preschool program, applicants will first be directed to government-operated schools.”
