MARA chairman Asyraf Wajdi ensures no student misses MRSM registration over financial issues, directing management to contact and assist affected families.

KUALA LUMPUR: No student should miss registration at a MARA Junior Science College (MRSM) due to financial constraints.

Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) chairman Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki issued the directive ahead of the simultaneous registration of Form One and Form Four students at all MRSMs.

He said he has instructed MRSM management to contact any students who fail to report for registration, particularly those facing financial difficulties.

“I do not want any student to miss out because of poverty,” he said in a Facebook post.

Asyraf Wajdi urged parents or guardians facing financial or other issues to contact their respective MRSMs immediately.

He added that MARA will ensure all eligible students are able to continue their studies.

The 2026/2027 school session for Group A schools in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu began yesterday.

Group B schools in Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor and the Federal Territories began today.
