2027 budget to provide funds for Form Six allowances, says Anwar
The prime minister's announcement confirms a government decision announced in April.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced during a Temu Anwar session in Bukit Mertajam that the 2027 federal budget would allocate funds for an allowance to be given to Form Six students. The specific amount of the allocation had not yet been determined and would be based on the government's financial situation at that time. This decision follows Anwar's earlier comments in Johor Bahru, where he proposed extending the monthly allowances currently given to matriculation students to include Form Six students.
The Education Minister, Fadhlina Sidek, revealed that the proposed allowance was one of 12 recommendations raised at a pre-university congress held in Klang. The ministry accepted all the resolutions put forth by the student delegates and is currently evaluating them to determine potential improvements and implementation strategies.
