RM923 million for 523 schools for period between 2006 and 2007 is about RM882,000 per year. The report did not mention if the amount includes salaries, KWAMP, tuition vouchers, text book subsidies, etc. The point is not about  money being spent, but the amount and level of spending as partially aided school receive limited funds. Fund allocation also depends on  number  of students in the school.

RM86 million / 8000 students = RM10750/student. 1984 until 2007 is 24 years. Rm86 million/24 years = RM3.583 million per year. Anyway, averages may not be painting the true picture, since if a medicine course costs 300K and a 1-year certificate course costs 5K, the higher-costing course will skew the results. » Read more: MIED loan repayment only 34 percent
