MRSM PKP (Special Education Programme or Malay: Program Khas Pendidikan)
PKP is a title that is given to MARA Junior Science Colleges who have attained a high level of quality in their students through national exams and participation in events — with the former being the primary factor. These colleges are often deemed the most superior in their category of schools in Malaysia, though others could still compete with them. Most of the students who are admitted into MRSM PKP are usually those who obtain 8As or more in the Malay: Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) examination and pass the UKKM with flying colors. The quality of the students in MRSM PKP are usually higher. As such, these MJSCs usually become the role models for the other MJSCs to promote healthy competition between its students.

- MJSC Pengkalan Chepa, Kelantan
- MJSC Tun Ghafar Baba, Melaka
- MJSC Taiping, Perak
- MJSC Langkawi, Kedah
- MJSC Pontian, Johor

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or programme:
“Nature has taken more care than the fondest parent for the education and refinement of her children. Consider the silent influence which flowers exert, no less upon the ditcher in the meadow than the lady in the bower. When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
