Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek expressed her satisfaction with the response, highlighting the commitment of PTAs to upgrade school facilities and enhance the comfort of students. The special application channel, open from November 1 to 30, allows PTAs nationwide to identify and submit their schools' infrastructure repair needs for the ministry's consideration.
