Form Six Students to Receive RM150 Early Schooling Aid

Form Six students will now receive the same financial aid and incentives as other school students, including the RM150 cash payment under the 2026 Early Schooling Aid (BAP). This ensures that students pursuing the pre-university programme are not excluded from government assistance.
Early Schooling Aid (BAP) Entitlement

Over 96,013 Form Six students have either received or are slated to receive the 2026 Early Schooling Aid (BAP). This aid package includes a direct cash disbursement of RM150 per student, aligning their financial support with that of other school-going cohorts.
Reclassification and Special Recognition

While Form Six students will remain under the purview of the Ministry of Education for the time being, there is an emphasis on providing them with special recognition as a pre-university programme. This includes suggestions for separate school assembly attendance and placement in distinct blocks within shared school buildings to foster a post-school, pre-university identity.
Pre-University Equivalence

Form Six in Malaysia is recognised as a pre-university pathway. It is considered equivalent to other post-secondary routes such as matriculation programmes, A-Levels, and foundation courses, underscoring its role in preparing students for higher education.
