SHAH ALAM, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- The Selangor 2027 Budget will focus on strengthening the education support system and increasing student participation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as well as Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said education remained a key development agenda for the state, with investments assessed based on their impact on students, teachers, institutions and the community.

“Among the priorities of the state education budget, which will be announced this Friday, are strengthening access to and opportunities for education, empowering educational institutions, and enhancing teachers' competencies, facilities and the quality of education delivery,” he said.

He said this after launching the Selangor Education Summit (SES) 2026 at the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) here today.

Also present were state secretary Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin and deputy state secretary (Development), who also serves as the director of the State Economic Planning Unit (UPEN), Datuk Johary Anuar.

Amirudin said the state government was also emphasising stronger higher education, research, and innovation through strategic collaborations between academic institutions and industry players.

He said holistic human capital development was also a priority, encompassing a balance between academic achievement, skills, character development and human values, in line with the fourth mission of the Second Selangor Plan (RS-2), namely Productive and Inclusive Human Capital.

He said efforts to strengthen TVET and STEM were also being prioritised to meet the demand for skilled workers and foster a culture of innovation among students from the early stages of schooling.

“The perception that TVET is a second-choice education option needs to change, as the field offers education and career pathways with high economic value and plays an important role in meeting the country's skilled workforce needs.
