Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek emphasized the importance of effectively executing the announced plans and initiatives, with a focus on ensuring the welfare of students and educators. The 2027 Budget aims to alleviate schooling costs for families through various aid programs, such as the Form Six allowance, Early Schooling Aid (BAP), allowances for Students with Special Educational Needs, and incentives for special education teachers. Fadhlina also highlighted the MOE's efforts to address school safety, including safety audits of dormitories, installation of additional CCTV cameras, and provision of warden assistants. The government is exploring multi-storey construction methods and modular Industrialised Building System to speed up solutions for overcrowded and dilapidated schools, while simultaneously strengthening schools to withstand climate change impacts like heatwaves and floods.",
