PETALING JAYA: Having a targeted approach for Early Schooling Aid (BAP) is more beneficial than giving money to all pupils regardless of their economic status, say parent groups.
Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE) chairperson Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said while any form of early school aid was welcome, it would be better utilised if allocations were targeted at the lower income groups.“If aid is given to lower income groups, bigger amounts over and above the RM150 aid can be offered. This will be in line with the Madani concept of equity, fairness and justice,” she said.
