Penang Green School Program – District Level

Penang Green School is an annual environmental audit program for all schools in Penang (except for international schools), initiated in 2010 by the Penang State Government in collaboration with MBPP and MBSP. Starting in 2026, the program is upgraded to the Penang Green School Program, featuring a new Star Rating System. The program also emphasizes continuous guidance and support for schools through three main pillars: student involvement, teacher engagement, and community engagement. 

Starting in 2027, schools that register for the program in 2026 will also be eligible to apply for the Penang Green School Fund, supporting further environmental initiatives and sustainability projects within schools.
