Just read in the Bangkok Post reported that New education policies state a child must be a Malaysian citizen in order to be enrolled in a public school. Parents who did not register their marriages, are not able to register their children as Malaysian citizens, the Star daily reported.
In the past it was different - when either parent produced (an identity card), the children were allowed to register for school, but not any more. It was reported that Some children who have been going to school previously found themselves not being able to attend school this year. What will happen?
This is pertaining to ID and citizenship, what about if your child has ADD or ADHD or dyslexia or any other learning disabilities - it would depend on your LUCK - if there are teachers trained to handle your children. If there are enough places to accommodate such students (schools with special classes are usually FULL). It will also depend on your wealth - if you have money, you can employ special teachers or go to special private schools. If you are wealthy enough, you can spend time at home with your children - if both parents have to work - well...... back to school - and there is a chance that your child may not be able to read after primary six - as it is so often the case.
If you take you child out of school, you stand the risk of being thrown into jails. What choices do we have?
We are eagerly waiting for Friday - the release of the Education Blue print, the revolutionary blueprint.
