KUALA LUMPUR — The Ministry of Education received 670 applications during the first week of launching a dedicated channel for school maintenance requests, signalling strong demand for facility upgrades across the country's education system.
Education Minister Fadhlina Aziz announced the figure following the rollout of the specialised application pathway, which provides Parent-Teacher Associations with a more direct route to submit maintenance and repair proposals for their respective schools.
The high volume of applications underscores widespread needs for infrastructure improvements in Malaysian schools. The new channel is designed to expedite the processing of requests and improve communication between schools and the ministry regarding facility maintenance priorities.
The ministry has indicated that applications will be evaluated based on urgency and available resources. Officials have pledged to work systematically through the backlog to address critical maintenance issues affecting teaching and learning environments.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to enhance school infrastructure and ensure that educational facilities meet operational standards necessary for effective classroom instruction.
