KEPALA BATAS - The government intends to introduce a new type of school specifically for children of the poorest groups in the country so that they are not left behind in the education system.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the concept for this new type of school would be akin to a secondary science school or a secondary boarding school.
"So, we will have a school that provides space for children from poor families, especially the poorest, whose (academic) results are unsatisfactory. We will allow them to study,” he said when speaking at the ‘Temu Anwar Bicara Pendidikan MADANI’ programme at the Penang Matriculation College today.
He emphasised that everyone should have access to equal educational opportunities so that no group is left out of the democratisation of quality of education. - BERNAMA
