This study investigates the influence of budget allocation on the effectiveness of implementing digital education policies in Malaysian public universities. The primary objective is to examine how financial resources allocated towards digital education impact the successful integration and sustainability of these initiatives. Employing a qualitative research approach, the methodology includes in-depth interviews and document analysis. Thirty-two key informants, including academic administrators, professional and management staff, academicians, students, key informants from the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) and DePAN 2.0 policy committee, and politicians, were interviewed. Additionally, the study analyzed documents issued by the MOHE, including the DePAN 2.0 policy and several guidelines. The research focused on four selected public universities. The informants provided comprehensive insights into the financial aspects influencing digital education. The findings reveal critical factors associated with budget allocation that either facilitate or hinder the implementation of digital education policies, offering valuable implications for policymakers and educational institutions aiming to enhance digital learning environments.
