School Fees
Where financial circumstances put a child’s education at risk, PMEF seeks to provide school-fee assistance according to identified need and available resources.
Our work
More than enrolment
Education involves more than being enrolled at school. Children also need the materials, clothing and opportunities that enable them to attend, participate and progress. PMEF aims to respond to these practical needs in collaboration with schools and communities.
Exercise Books and Learning Materials
We aim to help children access exercise books, stationery and other essential materials needed for everyday learning.
School Uniforms and Footwear
PMEF recognises that the cost of school uniforms, sportswear and school shoes can be a significant burden for families. Support may include these items where a need has been identified.
Other Educational Needs
Depending on the child’s circumstances and available resources, support may extend to education-related activities and requirements arranged through schools, including educational trips or additional lessons.
How support is identified
PMEF works with schools and relevant community representatives to identify children facing educational barriers.
Needs are considered carefully, and support is coordinated through schools where appropriate. Assistance is dependent on assessment and available resources.
Working together
Parents and guardians have an important role in supporting school attendance, homework and participation in school activities.
PMEF encourages shared responsibility between families, schools and the Foundation.
Help a child attend, participate and progress
When schools, communities and supporters work together, we can address barriers to education.
