TVET allowance issue being cleared


JOHOR BARU: Some 5,000 students enrolled in private technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutes across the country, who had faced delays in receiving their allowances from the Skills Development Fund Corporation (PTPK) due to a “technical issue” can expect to receive their funds by next month.

PTPK chairman of the board of directors Zahir Hassan said that all outstanding issues, particularly the RM600 monthly living allowance for TVET students, were officially approved when the board met for the first time last week.
