Minister for Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says thousands of people have told them that they could not go to universities as they did not have the Toppers and Tertiary Education Loan Scheme during their time.
Sayed-Khaiyum told the parliamentarians that these people did good in high schools but their parents could not send them to universities.
While responding to questions from the Opposition members in relation to these two schemes, Sayed-Khaiyum said the reality is that these people can now send their children to Universities through the Toppers and Tertiary Education Loan Scheme.
The parliament has been adjourned till the 22nd of next month.
