Commitment 5: Providing the Best Educational Opportunities for
The Children of FELDA Settlers.
The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with FELDA and its
subsidiaries, will be instructed to act quickly to ensure schools in FELDA
schemes have adequate infrastructure.
The Pakatan Harapan Government will set a special quota for FELDA
children in full boarding schools (SBP) and Mara Junior Science College
(MRSM). Quota will also be set for them in skills-based colleges/vocational
institutes and public universities.
Scholarships for FELDA settlers' children will be increased and they would
not be restricted to FELDA scholarships only. Incentives will be given to
government-owned companies and other sponsors to provide scholarships
and educational assistance to these children and youths.
Technical and vocational training schemes will be provided to them,
especially in the field of agro-tourism as part of efforts to diversify income
sources for every generation of FELDA settlers.
All of this will contribute to creating better opportunities for the settlers'
children, and thus help solve the problems of social ills among the young
people in FELDA.
