KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 – The Ministry of Education (MOE) has received 670 applications from Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) nationwide requesting infrastructure maintenance allocations within just one week of launching its special dedicated portal on November 1, 2026.
Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek announced in a Facebook post on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that the strong initial turnout underscores the determination of PTAs to partner with the government in upgrading physical facilities and building safer, more comfortable learning environments for students.
“I am happy to see this response. It shows the determination of PTAs to work together to help improve school facilities and environments for the comfort of our children,” Fadhlina stated, noting that parents who drop off their children daily possess practical, firsthand insights into urgent school repairs.
Fadhlina emphasized that the MOE envisions PTAs operating as strategic partners within Malaysia’s national education ecosystem to identify and resolve local infrastructure deficiencies.
The special application portal remains open until November 30, 2026, allowing unsubmitted PTAs to submit requests for priority structural repairs, critical damage remediation, and safety upgrades.
The special channel follows Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Budget 2027 announcement allocating RM2 billion to the MOE specifically dedicated to repairing and maintaining all categories of schools across the nation.
