She said it makes a difference when corporations come forward to support the education ecosystem. 'Through programmes where private corporations provide aid, it helps improve students' lives and the quality of their educational experience. 'It gives these children the space and motivation to continue to progress in life,' she told reporters after officiating a ceremony for scholarships for STPM students by Farm Fresh Berhad in Jawi yesterday. Fadhlina said 500 Form 6 students from 10 states who fall under the B40 category will benefit from the contribution. 'They will receive RM100 every month from May to December. 'The company will contribute a total of RM2.8mil between 2025 and 2029 towards this cause. 'This will help these students cover their needs. It will have a direct impact on their education,' she added. When asked how they identified students in need of the aid, Fadhlina said 70% to 80% of Form Six students fall under the B40 category. 'We have the data, and these students are picked at random,' she explained. She also voiced hope that other companies would offer aid for B40 students. 'We are providing a dedicated platform for companies to contribute through structured corporate social responsibility programmes that have a direct impact on students,' she said.

'It was a valuable opportunity to share the latest developments in national education, discuss arising issues at the state level, and explore solutions. I also took note of all feedback and suggestions given during the meeting. Any effort for the betterment of the education sector should be welcomed. 'I hope the relationship between the MOE and respective state governments continues to be strengthened to enhance the quality and excellence of national education,' she said. Fadhlina added that during the meeting, she also shared the encouraging results of the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination.
