THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN TAMIL SCHOOLS
\n
\nby Dinesh on Tuesday, 09 October 2007<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, several issues relating to Tamil schools have been highlighted by certain individuals and groups either in media or in public forums of which some are misleading information on Tamil schools. Many articles and views were not substantiated with accurate statistics and data. In this context, YSS has updated the data on Tamil schools relating to the number of schools, enrolment, infrastructure development, achievement and teachers development in order to provide an actual information to the Indian community on the whole. <\/p>\n

Number of schools and enrolment<\/strong>
\nThere were 888 Tamil schools in Malaysia in 1957 with 50,766 students. This number of Tamil schools has dwindled over the last 50 years due to development of estates into housing and commercial areas. Therefore there are 523 Tamil schools in 2007 with a total of 105,618 students. <\/p>\n

Of the 523 schools there are 327 under-enrolled Tamil schools where there are less than 150 students. 149 schools out of the 327 schools have fewer than 50 students.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure Development<\/strong>
\nSince independence, Tamil schools have undergone tremendous changes in their infrastructure development. Many small schools and old schools have been rebuilt and upgraded with good building and the latest teaching and learning facilities. Several Tamil schools have also been relocated at suitable sites. <\/p>\n

A study undertaken by YSS in 2004, identified that there were 106 Tamil schools required either a total rebuilding of the school or major portions of the school. A majority of these schools are situated in the rural area especially in estates and are partially aided schools. However out of 106 schools about 50 schools have close to 100 students or above. <\/p>\n

With the special allocation from the government since 1986, YB Dato Seri Samy Vellu had managed to build 76 Tamil schools and some of them are from these 106 schools. Dato Seri has also been instrumental in upgrading a number of Tamil schools since 1986. In addition to that, Dato Seri has secured RM53,129,000 to rebuild and upgrade 136 Tamil schools in the 9th Malaysia Plan period. Of this, the upgrading of 27 schools have been approved in 2007.  <\/p>\n

UPSR Results<\/strong>
\nTamil school students since the last 10 years have been performing well in the UPSR examination. They have achieved marked improvement in all subjects. In 2000 only 95 students scored 7As. But in 2006, a total of 570 students obtained 7As in UPSR. (See Table 2 & 3)<\/em><\/p>\n
