Applications open next month with a simple online form. Analysts described the development as significant but cautioned that its real impact will only be visible over the coming quarters.

Teachers and parents will be consulted throughout the trial, and schools taking part will share their findings so that others can learn from them.

Key details

Experts note that similar efforts elsewhere have succeeded when they were paired with transparent reporting and regular public updates.

Economists add that the effect on household budgets will depend on how quickly the changes filter through to everyday prices and services.

“The numbers are encouraging, but the real test is whether it lasts.”

What happens next

Observers will be watching the next few weeks closely, as early results often shape how long-term plans are adjusted.

The announcement drew a mixed response online, with supporters praising the pace of progress and critics asking for clearer timelines and more detailed figures.
