School Uniform Assistance 2020
SIBU: Yayasan Sarawak’s School Uniform Assistance 2020 will benefit 26,175 students, involving a cost of RM5,235,000.
Yayasan Sarawak director Azmi Bujang said that the assistance vouchers for uniforms had been distributed to all Resident’s Offices throughout Sarawak.
He said the programme, started in 2001, supplies school uniforms including shoes and bags to recipient students.
“In 2017, the allocation was increased by RM4 million with a grant of RM200 per person. Implementation of the Assistance was enhanced by the usage of vouchers,” he explained.
He said this at the meeting for coordination and distribution of Yayasan Sarawak School Uniform Assistance 2020 vouchers at the Senate Room, University College Teknology Sarawak (UCTS) here, yesterday.
Also present were Yayasan Sarawak deputy director Louis Simon Peter, Education Department Sarawak officer Natrah Ahim, and Sibu Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) district officer Abdullah Shariff.
District offices would be informed of the voucher quota and thereafter a meeting with all the District Education Offices would be held to distribute vouchers.
The school authorities will be notified to send a list of student names who qualify based on set criteria and will be submitted to the District Office for verification.
The list of approved names will be submitted to the Resident’s Office and then to Yayasan Sarawak.
Next, the list of approved names would be sent to BSN for data preparation.
