According to data shared by the Department of Education, between the 2021 and 2024 academic years, 63,155 students were enrolled in kindergarten who were assumed to have a $1,000 savings account that would have an annual return until they graduated from twelfth grade. (Ramon " Tonito " Zayas)

The government has not complied with the creation of a $1,000 savings account for each kindergarten student enrolled in the public education system, despite the fact that said public policy is the result of a law approved five years ago, confirmed Luis Umpierre, deputy executive director of the Financial Advisory Authority and Fiscal Agency (AAFAF).
