Sekolah Agama Bantuan Kerajaan (SABK) or Government-funded Religious School (Arabic: المدرسة الدينية الممولة من الحكومة) is a type of institutional group of education established and managed by the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE).
[1] SABK forms Religious Education Institution (IPA) with two other types of institutional group of education, which are National Islamic Secondary School (SMKA) and normal schools with Religious Stream Class (KAA).
On that year, the Federal Government took over a number of religious schools from states.
This idea was then reinstated in 2005 upon recommendation of Special Committee of Tan Sri Murad a year before, which a state government-owned religious schools (SMAN) or a community religious schools (SAR) may register as an SABK.
[2] As of 31 December 2023[update], 229 SABKs have been established in Malaysia.
