Education Minister Maszlee Malik says among the groundbreaking measures in the education sector that the government has taken is to allow children without valid documents to be enrolled in schools. — Picture by Mukhriz Hazim
“We have tried to take a corrective stance that is to bring them to the school where the school will assist them in obtaining the documents,” he told a press conference on the initiatives implemented by the Ministry of Education in the last one year of the Pakatan Harapan government’s administration.
The new classroom-based assessment format involving 1.3 million students nationwide were among the initiatives by the government to empower the nation's education system towards reforms that were inclusive and of quality. According to Maszlee, non-examination-based learning will encourage further interaction and collaboration between parents and teachers so that both parties could develop the potential of students to optimum levels.
“So it works both ways, we not only want schools for the development of students but where teachers develop too,” added Maszlee.
