Shafruddin: 40% of expelled students in Terengganu found working

KUALA TERENGGANU: Nearly 40% of students who were expelled from schools in Terengganu did not appeal to return to continue their education and were found to be working despite their young age, said state Education director Shafruddin Ali Hussin.

He said about 1,300 primary and secondary school students in Terengganu were expelled last year for indiscipline and absenteeism, and action was taken after numerous warnings were ignored.
