She stated that schools are prohibited from deducting any amount from the RM150, and any outstanding payments must be settled separately. Fadhlina stressed that this aid cannot be deducted under any circumstances. Speaking after the presentation of the BAP at SMK Tun Syed Barakbah in Nibong Tebal, she reinforced the government's commitment to enforcing the Compulsory Schooling Act, highlighting that school attendance remains a priority and there are no excuses for children not attending school. She also noted that the BAP, part of a broader government assistance program with an allocation exceeding RM800 million, is set to benefit approximately 5.2 million students from Year One to Form Six, assisting them with school uniforms and other potential financial hardships. The minister urged parents facing difficulties to communicate with school authorities so that the schools may provide assistance.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/general/","General",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/no-deductions-from-rm150-school-aid/131766/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/no-deductions-from-rm150-school-aid/131766.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Ava Thompson","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-29","2026-08-13",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",10,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the purpose of the RM150 Early Schooling Aid (BAP)?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The RM150 Early Schooling Aid (BAP) is financial assistance provided by the government to parents to help with back-to-school expenses, such as school uniforms, and should not be used to offset any other charges.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"Are schools allowed to deduct any amount from the RM150 BAP?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"No, schools are strictly prohibited from deducting any amount from the RM150 BAP.
