He said practices that undermine moral values in the education system, including bullying, must not be taken lightly, even if they involve only a small minority. It is a destructive practice that damages the identity and culture of a school,” he said at the launch of the National Education Blueprint (RPN) 2026-2035 here on Tuesday. Also present were Deputy Prime Ministers Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, as well as Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. Anwar said that although education portfolios are led by the education and higher education ministers, the responsibility for education actually rests with the entire Cabinet, including in national planning and budget allocation. Under Budget 2026, the government allocated RM66.2 billion to the Education Ministry and RM18.6 billion to the Higher Education Ministry.
