He said effective education begins at home, continues in schools through the efforts of teachers and is further strengthened by the support of the surrounding community, Bernama reported.

“Education starts at home – within the family bond, where parents must understand their children. When the child goes to school, teachers must also get to know them.

“But within the community, we too must play a role. If all this while people have thought that education is the sole duty of teachers, that is not true, it is a shared responsibility,” he said after the 2025 Madani Adoption School Programme at Sekolah Kebangsaan Temai in Pekan, Pahang today.

SK Temai was chosen as a foster school under the Energy Commission through the Madani Adoption School Programme, providing the school’s staff with various benefits and support in both education and assistance.

Shamsul said the government remains committed to continuously improving the education system, including ensuring schools are safe and secure environments that help shape students into better individuals.

He added that cooperation between the police and schools will continue to be strengthened to maintain a safe and conducive learning atmosphere.
