KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Education (MOE) is stepping up efforts to resolve issues that have affected Tamil schools for decades, Deputy Minister Wong Kah Woh said today.
He said MOE has reviewed each case carefully over the past two years, focusing on schools burdened by delays in construction, land disputes, and inadequate facilities.
One such school is SJKT Sungai Bakap, where construction was halted for years. Now that funds are available, MOE is fast-tracking the remaining procedures so building work can finally begin.
Wong also spoke about SJKT Ladang Jeram — a school whose original wooden structure was demolished more than 30 years ago, leaving students learning in temporary cabins ever since. The government will now rebuild it completely under RMK-13.
He added that the ministry’s renewed focus has also enabled the resolution of several other long-standing Tamil school cases across the country.
