The government had proposed to provide RM150 in early school assistance for all pupils, regardless of financial level, in the preceding Budget 2023. The Unity Government, led by PM Anwar Ibrahim, carried out this plan. In 2024, the government has set aside RM788 million to sustain the BAP, which among other things lessens the financial burden of upfront education expenditures that parents or guardians must bear.

As early as January 11, 2024, the school account is credited with the BAP allotment, and the school is asked to distribute it to the pupils at the same time. After the registration procedure is finished, the BAP award will be introduced for Year 1 students who will begin enrolling in school in March 2024.

Parents and pupils do not need to apply to certain schools since all students are eligible and the award is not dependent on the parents’ financial information in APDM (Pupil Database Application). Furthermore, many educational institutions will furnish the PB1 (APPLICATION FOR SCHOOL AID) and PB2 (INCOME VERIFICATION) forms. The aid program is exclusively open to students who are Malaysian.
