The Government of China will provide school uniforms to 4.3 million children in Sri Lanka for the academic year 2025, as a grant.
According to the Education Ministry, the grant has been provided following Education Minister Susil Premajayantha’s discussions with the Chinese Ambassador to Sri Lanka and relevant Chinese authorities.
As such, uniforms will be provided to 4.3 million schoolchildren and robes required for 825 piriven schools for the year 2025.
The Chinese Government has confirmed that the first batch of uniforms will arrive on 13 November 2024, while the second batch will arrive on 21 November, and the third batch will be provided on 20 December.
The Education Ministry says as the uniforms will be provided 100% free of charge, the Sri Lankan Government will save Rs. 7000 million.
The ministry further said that the school uniforms would be distributed before 20 January 2025, before the commencement of the first academic term. (Newswire)
