PUTRAJAYA: More than 23,000 book vouchers have been redeemed by students and pupils using the Delima (Digital Educational Learning Initiative Malaysia) application so far, according to the education ministry.
The ministry said the valid period of redemption and use of book vouchers for pupils and students in educational institutions under its purview is from May 31 to Dec 31.
“Therefore, pupils and students need not worry about not having enough time to redeem their respective book vouchers and instead, ensure that the vouchers are used to get the best reading materials,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to the education ministry, the book voucher initiative for pupils and students in all institutions as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently has received a very encouraging response since it first opened on May 31.
It said the book voucher initiative can benefit all pupils and students in line with the government’s desire to produce a knowledgeable, critical thinking and visionary generation.
On May 30, the prime minister announced giving RM50 and RM100 book vouchers to students from Year Four (in primary schools) up to those in institutes of higher learning, as well as teachers training colleges.
