KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 — Better school facilities, improved safety and a more conducive learning environment are among the key improvements the school community hopes to see from the increased allocation for education in Budget 2027.
West Malaysia Malay Teachers Union (KGMMB) president Dr Mohd Sobri Yusuf said the RM69 billion allocation, up from RM66.2 billion this year, should translate into meaningful improvements in schools, with its success measured by the actual benefits delivered to teachers and students.
“Regardless of how much is allocated, the desired outcomes will not be achieved unless the funding brings about positive and tangible changes,” he said on Bernama TV’s Apa Khabar Malaysia talk show today.
