Melaka: The involvement of all parties, including parents and the community, is one of the main factors in ensuring the success of the country's education direction over the next decade through the Malaysian Education Blueprint (RPM) 2026-2035, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, there is a need for strong commitment and support from all parties, especially in the implementation of the new preschool and school curricula next year. Fadhlina emphasized that the implementation of the new preschool curriculum has already begun, and the expansion of preschool classes is being actively carried out nationwide. Starting next year, a new school curriculum will be implemented for Year One and Form One children.

Fadhlina highlighted that the success of these initiatives depends heavily on the commitment and support from all parties, including parents and the wider community. She cited the reading sessions for preschool children as an example, noting that they require parents to actively participate by spending time reading with their children. Similar cooperation is needed for other initiatives to succeed.

Earlier, Fadhlina attended a session with educators, Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs), and the Parent, Community and Private Sector Involvement (PIBKS) in the Ayer Molek and Pengkalan Batu areas in Melaka. During the session, she urged Melaka to build on its strong performance in last year's Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination to further enhance and strengthen the state's education ecosystem.

In addition, Fadhlina announced an allocation of RM280,000 for upgrading teachers' rooms, benefiting 13 schools. She expressed hope that this initiative would provide greater comfort for teachers, motivating them to excel in their responsibilities of educating children.
