KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will provide a special budget allocation for Chinese and Tamil schools beginning next year, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Announcing
this in his Thaipusam message at Batu Caves, he said this was part of
the Government’s commitment to help better vernacular schools.
He pointed out that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak
had earlier announced a RM100mil allocation for the development of
SJKTs in Budget 2012 and 2013, while the Education Ministry had
channelled management funds to Tamil schools in 2011 (RM584.38mil) and
2012 (RM660.35mil).
He said the Barisan Nasional government had
launched many initiatives for the Indian community, including the
MyDaftar programme.
