KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 — The Higher Education Ministry will receive RM19.1 billion under Budget 2027.

A slight increase from the Budget 2026 allocation of 18.6 billion, the Budget 2027 allocation follows a broader expansion of the ministry’s responsibilities, with Form Six and matriculation students set to come under its purview from 2027, bringing pre-university education within the higher education system.
