Students reading for a B.Sc in Pharmaceutical Science are to receive a higher stipend and initial financial grant as of next month, the Education Ministry has announced. It did not however say how much stipends would rise by. The change, effective immediately, will be reflected in students' August stipend payment. The ministry said the decision was taken in light of the fact that students in this course had for a number of years been denied a level playing field with students in similar courses. Upgrading the course's stipend classification also complemented the government's policy of encouraging science education, it added. The ministry also said it was pleased that there had been a "noteworthy" increase in the number of Form 3 students choosing to study a science subject next year. 550 students have taken up Biology as a subject, with a further 300 students opting for Chemistry.
