PENAMBAHBAIKAN ELAUN SARA HIDUP (ESH) UNITED KINGDOM IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE COST OF LIVING ALLOWANCE (ESH) IN THE UNITED KINGDOM Pada tahun 2022, terdapat beberapa situasi luar jangka yang telah menyebabkan peningkatan kadar inflasi dan kos sara hidup secara mendadak. Negara yang paling terkesan adalah United Kingdom apabila keputusan Kerajaan United Kingdom untuk meneruskan agenda BREXIT dan diikuti dengan situasi peperangan di antara negara Rusia dan Ukraine. Kedua-dua faktor utama ini telah meningkatkan inflasi yang didorong oleh kenaikan harga bahan api dan tenaga global di mana kos utiliti dan pengangkutan yang meningkat dipindahkan kepada kos yang perlu dibayar oleh pengguna (termasuk pelajarpelajar tajaan JPA). JPA telah mengambil langkah proaktif dengan menyeragamkan ESH kepada kadar A sahaja bermula 31 Mei 2022 di United Kingdom (bagi peringkat Ijazah Pertama). Walau bagaimanapun, penyeragaman kadar ini masih tidak dapat menampung kos kenaikan sara hidup pelajar di United Kingdom. Justeru, pada 7 November 2022, MOF telah meluluskan kadar baharu ESH kepada GBP1,300 sebulan (elaun-elaun lain seperti elaun buku dan elaun alat perkakas diserap ke dalam ESH) kepada pelajar-pelajar Latihan Sebelum Perkhidmatan (LSP) sahaja. In 2022, several unexpected external factors led to a sudden increase in inflation rates and the cost of living. The United Kingdom was particularly affected due to the UK government's decision to continue the BREXIT agenda, followed by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Both of these major factors contributed to inflation, driven by rising global fuel and energy prices. The increased costs for utilities and transportation were passed on to consumers, including PSD-sponsored students. JPA took proactive steps by standardising the ESH to a single rate, effective 31 May 2022, for the United Kingdom (for the First Degree level). However, this standardisation rate still could not fully cover the increased cost of living for students in the United Kingdom. Therefore, on 7 November 2022, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) approved a new ESH rate of GBP1,300 per month (other allowances such as book allowances and tool allowances were incorporated into the ESH) for Trainees Before Service (LSP) students only.
