The Maldivian government has decided to increase the stipends or allowances provided to students and introduced a special mobile application on December 29, 2025, where students can submit their complaints. This decision is an important step towards increasing financial assistance to students and establishing a system for students to easily submit difficulties and concerns in the education sector to the government. With the new application, students can immediately report various issues they face, and with the change brought to the stipend, students will get a significant relief in general expenses. This government policy is a decision made as part of the ongoing efforts to raise the level of education in the Maldives and ensure the rights of students.
