Education minister Fadhlina Sidek said the ministry is currently focusing on the 2027 School Curriculum Implementation Survey to develop the new school curriculum to ensure a brighter future in education.

“So, I urge all parents to focus on the survey roadshow as we want the widest possible engagement to obtain the input (needed) to enhance the nation’s education system.

“For now, we want to focus on a holistic assessment for our children, particularly for their overall development,” she said after the launch of the ‘Taman Angkat Amanita Taman Pekaka’ at SMK Saujana Indah here today.

The government decided to abolish the UPSR exam in 2021 as a result of engagement sessions with various parties following its cancellation during the Covid-19 pandemic.

On a separate note, Fadhlina, who is also Nibong Tebal MP, called on any party who detected leakages in the channelling of RM70,000 to schools for the repair of toilets to report it to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

“We do monitor the situation, but if there is any issue, I urge for it to be reported directly to MACC,” she said.

“We channel the funds in phases, including for the government-assisted schools,” she added.

Yesterday, Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman, in a Facebook post, said she was very disappointed to find numerous issues regarding the project during a surprise visit to a school, which needed to be immediately addressed by the contractors and district education department.
