PASE-U Card and First Payment Rollout Continues This Thursday
General News
PANAMA CITY, July 23, 2026 – IFARHU continued the delivery of new PASE-U cards and the first payment rollout on Thursday, July 23, in several communities across Panama.
Reported distribution points included areas such as Arraijan, Chitre, Santiago, Portobelo, El Valle, Puerto Armuelles, Chiriqui Grande, La Pintada, Sona, La Chorrera, Pedasi and Chilibre. The spread of locations explains why the story has remained highly practical for families trying to confirm whether their school or district is included.
The rollout matters because PASE-U payments support school expenses at a time when uniforms, supplies, food, transport and medicine can strain household budgets. A new card system can make payments easier once it works, but the transition also creates questions about documents, guardians, dates and use rules.
Families are best served by checking official schedules before traveling. Long lines and unnecessary trips can occur when dates are shared informally without confirming the assigned school or delivery center.
Why it matters
The program directly affects education and family budgets. Any change in payment method becomes news families can use immediately.
What happens next
IFARHU is expected to continue staged deliveries. Parents and guardians should verify dates, school lists and identification requirements through official channels.
