Dong Zong pressured to reform curriculum

1 Ipoh’s Shen Jai High School is one of the 61 Chinese Independent high schools in Malaysia

DONG Zong has come under tremendous pressure to bring about urgent reforms to the curriculum of Chinese independent high schools as its content has largely been unchanged in the last 40 years.

The leading Chinese education group, or United School Committees Association of Malaysia, is in charge of the curriculum for 61 Chinese secondary schools and conducting the standardised United Examinations Certificate (UEC) examination. Currently, there are more than 82,000 students in these schools.
