Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the Chinese and Tamil national type schools played an important role for the Chinese and Indians because they were the main medium for them to instill positive and useful values in the lives of their children respectively.
“Our policy is one that allows every individual to choose the schooling system that he or she wishes to have. We have also given our commitment that these schools will continue to exist as part of the national education system so long as they are needed by the Chinese and Indian communities,” he said.
He said the decision of the government was in accordance with the policies contained in the Razak Report of 1956, that every individual had the right to choose the education system he or she wished to have.
He said an amendment to the Education Act 1996 had made Chinese and Tamil national type schools a part of the national education system and, as such, the existence of these schools was provided for in the law.
