GEORGE TOWN: The Education Ministry will introduce a comprehensive student character development initiative in 2026, using an integrated approach embedded within existing subjects, says Fadhlina Sidek.

The Education Minister said the initiative does not involve the introduction of a new subject but will instead be incorporated into daily lessons to strengthen students’ moral values and character through practical application.
