Students who have not yet redeemed their Rs. 3,000 footwear gift vouchers have been granted additional time, with authorities extending the deadline for use until March 15.

The Ministry of Education Sri Lanka announced that the vouchers, issued to selected school students and lay and ordained students of Pirivenas and Seelamathas for 2026, were initially set to expire on February 28.

The extension is expected to provide relief to beneficiaries who were unable to utilize the vouchers within the original validity period.
