KLUANG: The Education Ministry (MOE) will propose an allocation for the Form Six student allowance in the 2025 Budget.
Minister Fadhlina Sidek (pic) said the ministry is committed to advocating for the welfare of Form Six students to ensure they receive their rightful education.
“This allocation will be included in the 2025 Budget. Whether we secure the funding or not, we will fight for all our children. Additionally, we are also exploring other matters, such as the expansion of the Federal Scholarship.
“Previously, the Federal Scholarship was only available to the hardcore poor, but we are requesting an expansion to include other levels so that more children can benefit,” she said.
