Teachers' welfare, well-being must never be taken lightly - Farhan

KUANTAN - The welfare and well-being of educators must never be underestimated, stated Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi, Prime Minister's Political Secretary. Teachers are not only responsible for imparting knowledge, but also for molding character, thoughts, and a nation's essential values, he emphasized. Farhan underscored the significant role educators play in shaping children's futures, while also acknowledging that they too have lives, families, responsibilities, and aspirations.

At the 2025 Excellent Service Awards ceremony in Kuantan, where 642 individuals were acknowledged for their service, Farhan reiterated that education remains a top priority for the Madani government, with an increased budget allocation for the Education Ministry in the 2027 Budget. Specific groups of educators were also given special attention, such as a raise in the Special Needs Education Teaching Incentive from RM250 to RM300 per month.

Additionally, Farhan pledged RM30,000 to support educators' welfare and educational excellence in the district, hoping the funds would be used wisely to enhance facilities, improve teaching and learning, and create a more conducive educational environment.
