TUNAS Continues, RM2 Million Allocation to Help Parents Cover Children’s Preschool Costs

SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Kindergarten Assistance Scheme (TUNAS) will continue with an allocation of RM2 million under the Selangor Budget 2027 to help parents with household incomes of RM5,000 and below cover preschool education costs for children aged five to six.

Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said that under the scheme, each eligible family would receive RM50 per month to ease the financial burden of their children’s early education.

“This administration has always understood that parents now have to bear the burden of preschool education costs for their children at an earlier stage compared with previous generations,” he said.

He said this when tabling the budget themed “Progressive State, Institutions Upheld, People Cared For” at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (DNS) here today.

He said the allocation was intended to ensure that children in Selangor would not miss out on early education solely because of their families’ financial constraints.

Since its introduction in 2012, TUNAS has benefited 21,236 parents as of 2023.
