Parliament is set to hold a debate today on the budget estimate for providing allowances to school students for essential supplies. The debate will run from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM, followed by an adjournment debate from 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM.
The proposal, presented yesterday by Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, outlines a new government initiative to provide a 6,000-rupee allowance to school students starting next year. This program is expected to benefit 1,025,000 students across the country, ensuring access to necessary educational supplies.
The initiative highlights the government’s commitment to supporting education and easing financial burdens on families.
