Education and Participation (BuT)
The Education and Participation Package helps to sustainably improve development opportunities, particularly for children and adolescents at risk of poverty. However, a number of studies show that only some families take advantage of education and participation benefits, or that they apply for only certain components of these benefits. As a result, considerable potential remains untapped.
To ensure that all children have equal opportunities to grow up healthy and well, greater efforts must be made to increase the uptake of education and participation benefits.
The BuT package is intended to appeal to children and teenagers
As part of a package of measures aimed at improving the use of the Education and Participation Package (BuT), the Ministry of Family Affairs conducted a statewide online survey. The results will serve as the basis for targeted measures to further develop BuT services at the state and local levels.
