Don’t ignore Tamil schools says Santiago
April 17th, 2008 | Subscribe in a reader | Subscribe to poobalan.com by Email The minister is for all Malaysians, and in this contact, if he wanted to coordinate vernacular schools issues, then he should not just focus on Chinese schools as well. Even though Dong Jiao Zong were the ones who pushed for the initiative, the minister could have thought a bit further and extended this to Tamil schools as well. Don’t think he should wait for those representing Tamil schools to make an appeal to consider them.

Sivanesan skips PTA meeting due to Ministry circular

billions for chinese and tamil schools

The report did not mention if the amount includes salaries, KWAMP, tuition vouchers, text book subsidies, etc. The point is not about money being spent, but the amount and level of spending as partially aided school receive limited funds. Fund allocation also depends on number of students in the school. Since roughly one third of tamil schools are fully-aided, the balance will receive even less than the average (RM882k). » Read more: billions for chinese and tamil schools
