Malaysia has scrapped a proposed diagnostic test for six-year-olds entering Year One after concerns it could be discriminatory and restrict access. The government is proceeding with voluntary age-six primary enrolment under the National Education Blueprint 2026–2035, backed by additional funding and teacher recruitment plans.
The Jack Ma Foundation will invest at least 300 million yuan over the next decade to place and retain qualified teachers in rural schools through a five-year pre-service program. A pilot cohort of 100 graduates will be deployed across Hunan, Sichuan, Jilin, and Chongqing with financial incentives, training, and mentorship to improve rural education capacity.
