670 Parent-Teacher Associations Apply for School Maintenance Funds Within a Week of MOE Special Channel Opening

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 670 applications for school maintenance funding have been received from Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) representing various types of schools nationwide as of November 9, 2026.

Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek said the figure was recorded just one week after applications opened through the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) Special PTA Channel.

“I am pleased with the response. It demonstrates the commitment of PTAs to working together to improve school facilities and environments for the comfort of our children.

“I want PTAs to play a greater role as strategic partners of the MOE. Parents who send their children to school every day also have their own views on matters that require attention,” she said in a post on her Facebook page earlier today.

Fadhlina also announced that applications for the funding would remain open until November 30, 2026.

She therefore urged PTAs that had yet to submit their applications to take advantage of the opportunity before the application period closes.

Earlier, the media reported that the Ministry of Education had launched a special channel for school maintenance funding applications to ensure a safe and comfortable learning environment for students.

School PTAs can submit their applications by scanning the QR code on the programme’s poster.
