Koperasi Pendidikan Malaysia Berhad (KPMB)<\/strong> has allocated RM15 million<\/strong> this year as an education financing fund to assist 1,500 students<\/strong> from asnaf families, orphans, and low-income (B40) households<\/strong> to pursue studies in the fields of security and investigation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allocation is channelled through a strategic collaboration between KPMB and Kolej Pengajian Keselamatan Penyiasatan Malaysia (KPKPM)<\/strong>, aimed at easing the financial burden of parents and guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KPMB Chairman Datuk Shamsudin Mat<\/strong> said the scholarship initiative is intended to ensure that more students are given the opportunity to further their education at higher levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation is a long-term investment for the nation. Through this initiative, we are able to provide sustainable, competitive, and employability-oriented education pathways,\u201d he said when met at a press conference today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KPKPM offers industry-oriented training<\/strong>, aligned with real labour market needs and national security requirements. Among the academic and training programmes offered are Diploma in Policing<\/strong>, Diploma in Immigration and Border Control<\/strong>, Diploma in Anti-Corruption and Governance<\/strong>, Diploma in Law Enforcement<\/strong>, as well as the Malaysian Skills Certificate in Security Services Operations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shamsudin explained that educational programmes under KPKPM help enhance students\u2019 understanding of laws and regulations, thereby reducing the risk of abuse of power in enforcement duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each student from the asnaf and orphan categories will receive financing of RM16,450<\/strong>, equivalent to 50 per cent of registration and diploma tuition fees<\/strong>, allowing them to commence studies without any upfront payment<\/strong> to the college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, students from the B40 group are only required to pay RM2,900<\/strong> as registration fees and will receive 30 per cent financing support<\/strong> from KPMB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Shamsudin noted that the cooperative is currently at the final planning stage to introduce credit facilities or easy loan schemes<\/strong> for its members who require financial assistance to support their children\u2019s educational needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
