seven requirements for relocation of Chinese primary schools
does this apply for tamil schools as well?
THE Government must withdraw the seven requirements pertaining to the relocation of Chinese primary schools, the Dong Jiao Zong (United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia) said.
Dong Zong chairman Dr Yap Sin Tian and Jiao Zong chairman Ong Chiow Chuen issued a joint statement to oppose the matter, the Nanyang Siang Pau headlined.
They also demanded that Deputy Education Minister Datuk Hon Choon Kim make his stand clear.
The requirements are:
1. All parents must agree to the relocation of school in writing and submit it to the Education Ministry.
2. The board of directors and the Parent-Teacher Association are responsible for the construction of school buildings as well as the location of the new site.
3 & 4. The proposed site must be in an area with a high demand for Chinese schools and not on a government school reserve land.
5 & 6. Details of the new site and building plan must be submitted to the Education Ministry for approval.
7. Once relocated, operations at the old school site must cease completely.
The umbrella non-governmental organisation for Chinese educationists and school committees said the requirements have completely denied Chinese schools any status in the country’s education system.
