The plan is that each pupil from all the public primary school in this  council shall have two pair of the uniform for a session. By the time the schools will be resuming we shall start the distribution.” .

The council boss added that the new scheme would complement the existing free text books programme started by his administration, saying, “The free textbooks for public primary schools will continue this year. We started it last year and it was successful from the reports we got.
