MOE gets 670 school maintenance applications in first week of special channel, says Fadhlina

The Ministry of Education (MOE) in Malaysia has received 670 applications from Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) for school maintenance allocations within the first week of the launch of the MOE PTA special channel on November 1, according to Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek. The strong response indicates the PTAs' commitment to collaborating with the ministry to enhance school facilities and create a more comfortable environment for students.

Fadhlina expressed her satisfaction with the response, emphasizing the PTAs' determination to contribute to improving school environments. The ministry aims to increase the role of PTAs as strategic partners in strengthening Malaysia's education ecosystem. Applications for school maintenance allocations through the special channel remain open until November 30, allowing PTAs yet to apply to submit their requests.

This initiative follows the announcement by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim of a RM2 billion allocation for the repair and maintenance of all types of schools nationwide under Budget 2027.
