China pledges school uniform aid for next year also
View(s):China will again donate school uniform fabric next year, as it has for the past three years, Deputy Education Minister Dr. Madura Seneviratne said.
As a symbol of the enduring China– Sri Lanka friendship, China donated the total required quantity of school uniform fabric worth Rs. 5,171 million for this year. A formal request was submitted through the Department of External Resources to the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Sri Lanka, seeking assistance for the provision of school uniform fabric for 2026 as well.
Pending the donation, funds will be allocated to the Education Ministry for the purchase of uniform materials in this year’s budget in case the Chinese supplies are delayed.
The ministry has also started the bidding process for the purchase of the material, the deputy minister said.
In 2023 and 2024, the Chinese government contributed a significant portion of our national requirement for school uniform fabric, and in 2025, the entire requirement has been fulfilled through their support. (DW)
