The Works Ministry (KKR) is set to upgrade 121 overcrowded schools across six states as part of a major initiative to ease classroom congestion. The project, which involves the construction of 127 new classrooms, comes with a total allocation of RM88 million. Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan announced that letters of acceptance have been issued to 127 appointed contractors to carry out the upgrades in Selangor, Langkawi, Perak, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Terengganu, and Penang.

Selangor received the highest number of letters of acceptance (SSTs), with a total of 111 projects. This is followed by Perak with seven projects, Pahang with four, Negeri Sembilan with three, and one project each in Terengganu and Penang.

He told reporters at the Selangor Public Works Department (JKR) Headquarters today that the project includes 117 construction works for standard classrooms and 10 classrooms specifically for the Integrated Special Education Program (PPKI), all of which will be built using the Industrialised Building System (IBS) concept.

Ahmad explained that the use of the Industrialised Building System (IBS) not only accelerates the construction process but also enhances the quality and sustainability of the buildings. All projects are expected to be completed by October this year.

He added that the ministry also aims to offer more modern and comfortable facilities, with the goal of creating a conducive environment for teaching and learning for students, teachers, and school staff alike. Earlier, Ahmad presented letters of acceptance (SSTs) to 127 contractors who were chosen through an open tender process conducted between April 24 and May 16.

In total, 14 district engineers from the Public Works Department have been assigned to oversee and monitor the progress of the construction work for the respective projects.

This large-scale initiative reflects the Ministry of Works’ commitment to improving the country’s educational infrastructure, particularly in addressing overcrowding in schools. By incorporating modern construction methods such as the Industrialised Building System (IBS), the ministry aims to ensure faster, higher-quality, and more sustainable development. With close supervision from appointed district engineers and a clear timeline for completion by October, the project is poised to significantly enhance the learning environment for students and working conditions for educators across the involved states.
