BACHOK (Bernama): The National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) plans to improve its “matching grant' incentive for its saving scheme, to encourage more parents to save for their children's education.

Its chairman, Wan Saiful Wan Jan, said the PTPTN board of directors, during a meeting early this month, agreed to apply to the Finance Ministry for approval on the move.
