Basically, the state government is &#8220;going to&#8221; build 10 pre-schools in Tamil schools.\u00a0 According to Xavier Jayakumar, the effort will be jointly done with three NGOs, and expected 30-40 pre-schools to be established in three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to him, about 42 percent of students who enter year one in SJKT do not know how to read and write, due to the inability of the low-income parents to send them to pre-schools. The state government will offer &#8220;discounts&#8221; to these parents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Xavier presented RM1.6 million to 3 NGOs &#8211; Child Information Learning and Development Centre (Child)\u00a0 (RM300,000), Education Welfare and Research Foundation (EWRF) (RM150,000) andTamil Foundation (RM182,250).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the schools targetted are : SJKT Taman Permata and SJKT Ladang Ampar Tenang, Dengkil; SJKT Ladang Bukit Raja, Klang; SJKT Ladang Sungai Terap, Kuala Selangor and SJKT Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi Sepang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added that approval and cooperation from parents, school and school board is needed. If there&#8217;s not approval, they will look for other schools. Teachers will hired and provided proper training.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note: the amount given to NGOs did not total up to RM1.6 million. <a href=\"http:\/\/votecharles.wordpress.com\/2009\/06\/27\/kerajaan-negeri-hulur-bantuan-kepada-sekolah-tamil-dan-ngo\/\" target=\"_blank\">Another posting<\/a> in his blog mentioned that 27 Tamil schools also received cheques, so maybe its included in the RM1.6 million. Let&#8217;s see if this appears in major papers later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SJKT Bukit Darah also has plans to start a pre-school, so hopefully it can be included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My question: doesn&#8217;t it require Ministry of Education (federal) approval on premise use, syllabus, teacher hiring, etc?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charles Santiago (MP Klang) provides the details on his blog.
