Over RM20m allocated to 63 Chinese independent schools across the country this year
BUKIT MERTAJAM, Jan 11 — The federal government has approved an allocation of over RM20 million for 63 Chinese independent schools nationwide this year, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced.
Of this sum, he said RM19.84 million would go to 62 Chinese independent schools across the country, while RM1 million is earmarked for the Jit Sin Independent High School here.
Anwar said the allocation reflects the government’s appreciation for the contributions of Chinese independent schools in Malaysia.
“We appreciate their commitment to adapting their curriculum while respecting the national language and elevating the dignity of the people as a whole,” he said in his speech during a visit to the Jit Sin Independent High School today.
Last year, the government, represented by Transport Minister Anthony Loke, announced an allocation of RM18.9 million for 63 Chinese independent schools, with each school receiving RM300,000.
During his visit, Anwar fondly recalled his time as a substitute Malay language teacher at the school before continuing his studies at Universiti Malaya.
