政府将增加学前教育津贴增至每年逾20亿元。

副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰表示,在学前教育方面,为了能够让更多国人将孩子送到学前教育中心,今年起政府将增加学前教育津贴,从2018年10亿元增至每年逾20亿元。

王瑞杰透露,目前政府资助的学前教育中心学额占了所有学前教育中心学额额度五成,且预计将在2025年提升至八成。

此外,政府每年将投入多900万元,达5200万元在教育经济援助计划,因此也会用于加强对低收入家庭的援助,其获得教育部经济援助的高中生将每年享有的900元助学金额增至1000元,让国人能够负担得起教育费用,同时交通津贴与学校餐食津贴也会增加。

同时,政府也会调高工艺教育学院助学金,符合资格的低收入家庭学生除了可获得助学金之外,将可完全免付学费;来自中低收入家庭的学生也将每年获得多达200元现金的助学金。
