SELANGOR executive councillor Dr Xavier Jayakumar said the state will be building a hostel for Tamil school underachievers in the UPSR examination, reported Tamil Nesan.
The pupils would be given coaching to improve their academic performance, he said.
He said discussions would be held with the Tamil Schools Headmaster Council, teachers, parents and other Indian organisations to select 100 poor pupils for the extra coaching.
High achievers from poor families would also be assisted to encourage them to continue to do well in their studies and prepare them for secondary school, Dr Jayakumar told reporters after opening the state-organised Medical Health Camp at the Rinchang Estate Tamil School.
