Action plan for Tamil schools
KUALA LUMPUR: An action plan to address the problems faced by Tamil schools will be drawn up at a two-day symposium for headmasters, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said. “The plan will pave the way forward for Tamil schools into the next 50 years. There will also be specific plans for the next 13 years,” he said.
The Seventh Tamil School Headmasters symposium is jointly organised by the Tamil Schools’ Action Committee, the MIC education bureau and the party’s Social Strategic Foundation. MIC’s educational arm, the Maju Institute of Educational Development, will finance the symposium.
Samy Vellu said like other schools in Malaysia, Tamil schools also faced many challenges. “It is therefore imperative for us to take stock of the achievements, review the developments and analyse the challenges and hurdles,” he said. The symposium is themed Tamil Schools: Towards a New Era.
