On Thursday, September 14, Minister Cadet gave an update on the subsidy of textbooks explaining that the Maison Henri Deschamps was the only edition where books were not yet available. He acknowledged and confirmed that the first subsidy check (more than 300 million Gourdes) was handed out only Wednesday, September 13 in the morning to the Maison Deschamps...
"The editor Henri Deschamps gave me the guarantee Thursday that since yesterday morning [Wednesday] textbooks were beginning to be classified in all stores and schools. He also told me that arrangements had been made to bring them into the provinces as well. What our inspectors confirm."
