View(s):The Chinese government donated 8,862,990 metres of cloth to the Education Ministry as school uniform material for the 2023 academic year. The donation amounts to 70% of the country’s school uniform material requirement for this year. Acting Chinese Ambassador Hu Wei handed over the stock of cloth to Education Minister Dr Susil Premajayantha on Friday.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Minister Premajayantha said that steps will be taken to distribute school uniform material required for the 2023 academic year among the 4.1 million schoolchildren in government and government assisted schools, as well as among the Buddhist monks being educated in pirivenas, before March 20.
