View answerOn its dissolution in March 2013, the functions of the former Education Finance Board were vested in Caranua. These functions included making payments to individuals engaged in multi-annual education courses to whom financial commitments had been made for the duration of their courses by the Education Finance Board. Caranua contacted 17 people in this regard. 13 individuals responded and payments were made accordingly to them in 2013.
