School Improvement Programme To Help Raise Performance Of Schools

The Education Ministry will introduce the School Improvement Programme to help raise the performance of schools nationwide.

Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said, the programme would focus on schools with not so inspiring performance, especially those in the rural and interior areas. Then, this programme will focuse on all 20,000 schools in Malaysia.

Besides that, present were the two deputy education minsiters, Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong and Dr Mohd Puad Zakarshi at the ministry's month assembly in Putrajaya.

Muhyiddin said the ministry also proposed to reward school principals, head teachers and teachers who succeeded in raising the performance of their schools through this programme, just like what was given to administrators of the HPS.

On another matter, Muhyiddin said the ministry's Arts, Sports and Co-curriculum division would be revamped with sports being placed separately in efforts to strengthen sports in schools.

He urged the ministry staff to set up a stronger communication system with the people, parents and organisations with a stake in the nation's education system to further strengthen sports.
