ANSWER
Yang Berhormat Menteri Pendidikan
Thank you Yang Berhormat Awang Lau How Teck for the question raised.
The Ministry of Education provides assistance not in the form of financial aid, but such as school equipment and clothing, transportation, food, and accommodation. Meanwhile, student allowances are domestic facilities provided, among them to students at sixth form centres, and the Technical and Vocational Education Scholarship Scheme (BPTV).
In addition, assistance is also provided through the TVET Scheme, which was first introduced in 2023 — the first cohort consisted of 64 students, the second cohort 94 students, and the third cohort 51 students. For the first cohort, 80% have successfully completed their studies, while the second and third cohorts are still in the process of studying.
