IPOH:<\/strong> Up to 30 students used to sit in a classroom divided into three sections by plywood walls.<\/p>\n

They struggled to listen to their teacher amid lessons given by other teachers, which could be heard through the thin partitions.<\/p>\n

That was what at least 160 SRJK (T) Perak Sangeetha Sabah pupils had to endure before their school in Jalan Tun Abdul Razak here was rebuilt recently.<\/p>\n

They now enjoy their lessons in a proper school environment thanks to the redevelopment of Tamil schools programme planned by MIC and the Cabinet Committee for the Development of Indians.<\/p>\n

After more than three decades, the single-storey, two-classroom school was transformed into a four-storey building with 10 classrooms, a staff room and office, library, computer laboratory, science laboratory and living skills laboratories.<\/p>\n

Headmistress D. Pathmani said the redevelopment programme brought great relief to her teachers and students.<\/p>\n

“We can now organise events and celebrations on our own premises instead of elsewhere.”<\/p>\n

The school started classes in the new building in January.<\/p>\n

While waiting for the construction to finish, the pupils and teachers shared the premises of SK Buntong, 5km away.<\/p>\n

Despite not having their own place for about two years, Pathmani saidher Year Six pupils who sat the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah examinations last year did exceptionally well.<\/p>\n

“Eighteen of 25 students passed all five subjects and recorded the highest passing rate of 72 per cent for the school since 2006.”<\/p>\n

She said the better study environment played a major role in the pupils’ achievements.<\/p>\n

“The pupils had a more conducive learning environment at SK Buntong.<\/p>\n

“This enabled them to focus and participate in lessons.”<\/p>\n

She said she expected her UPSR pupils to do well this year because of the improved school condition.<\/p>\n

Bahasa Malaysia teacher Lourde Mary, 46, said the upgrade had also benefited teachers.<\/p>\n

She said all 14 teachers had either completed or were pursuing the Primary School Teaching Degree course introduced by the government in 2005.<\/p>\n

Mary expects to complete the course in December next year.<\/p>\n

She used to be embarrassed about not embracing technology and felt intimidated when her pupils displayed better aptitude for computers than her.<\/p>\n

“I never had the interest in tinkering with a laptop or surfing the Internet. But to complete my assignments for the course, I had to learn to be computer-savvy.<\/p>\n

“Now I am no longer ashamed and have a renewed passion for my vocation.”<\/p>\n

MIC president Datuk G. Palanivel said he hoped the upgrading would produce more positive results and pave the way for advanced Tamil school education.<\/p>\n

“I hope other Indian languages such as Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi, Gujarati and Bengali will not be alien to Indian Malaysians.”<\/p>\n

Palanivel said 24 fully-aided schools would benefit from redevelopment works under an RM86.4 million allocation this year.<\/p>\n

Another RM5.3 million was allocated to upgrade existing facilities.<\/p>\n

Partially-aided schools would also benefit from a RM69.9 million Education Ministry allocation.<\/p>\n

MIC deputy president Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said efforts were ongoing to relocate low-enrolment schools to areas with higher demand for Tamil education.<\/p>\n

He said 69 schools with fewer than 25 students would be relocated in the next few years.<\/p>\n

He said the process was time-consuming and involved finding suitable sites as well as fund-raising.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
