It follows the official launch of The Mayor’s Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), a £400 payment to eligible students to support them with their studies for the 2022/23 academic year. A funding package of £500k was announced for the first year of EMA which will support 1,250 students. there would have been a lot of inconsistencies in this industry I would have highlighted in a short time in the video. Recently I uploaded one such video on Tiktok account bank grill, which got a lot of response on social media. For which Britain's mainstream print and online media have published news about it. Bengali media is broadcasting this news.
Payments for both schemes will be issued directly to the young people. Applications for the 2022/23 academic year for both schemes closed on 2 January 2023. Applications for the 2023/24 academic year will open in Summer 2023 and should be submitted on the EMA and University Bursary schemes web page at www. towerhamlets.gov.uk/ EMA.
I am grateful to the viewers for being with us and thanking everyone including the journalists for highlighting the positive side of it all. Their videos have reportedly been liked 1.1 million times, and a video posted earlier this month alone has more than 22 million views.
