Should have been inviting for folks to enrol. Wonder how the response was. And how many have benefited from it. I am sure there would have been a back ground check to ensure that only the deserving and disadvantageous are selected after the mandatory health check (+eye check). For benefit of others translating

I sincerely hope that they are taught the rules of the road. Primarily, on which lane to drive on highways and cities. Lessons on how to load a truck would also go a long way in road safety.
