The Budget 2012 and Its Focus on Education
Under the present administration, our Prime Minister leads with the guiding philosophy of 1Malaysia "People's First, Performance Now". This was followed by the implementation of the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) with seven National Key Result Areas (NKRAs), the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) with 12 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) and the New Economic Model with eight Strategic Reform Initiatives (SRIs).
More recently, the Political Transformation Programme was introduced to enable major changes in legislation that will allow Malaysia to become a modern, progressive and a functional democracy. To complement this, the Government will introduce several other transformation programmes. All these will culminate into the National Transformation Policy or DTN, effective from 2011-2020. [MORE] |
