KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 — The Ministry of Education (MOE) has received 670 applications from Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) nationwide for school maintenance allocations, just a week after the launch of the MOE PTA special channel on November 1.

Education Minister Datuk Seri Fadhlina Sidek, in a Facebook post today, said the strong response reflected PTAs’ commitment to working together with the ministry to improve school facilities and create a more conducive environment 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,” she said.

She said the ministry hoped to see PTAs play a greater role as strategic partners in efforts to strengthen the country’s education ecosystem.
