Chinese schools not going mainstream, says Mahdzir

KUALA LUMPUR: Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid (pic) has dismissed the possibility of Chinese vernacular schools being turned into mainstream schools in 10 years’ time.

Mahdzir said that although the ratio of non-Chinese students to Chinese students in vernacular schools was higher in some rural areas, in Sabah and Sarawak, the majority of the vernacular schools in the urban areas was still dominated by Chinese students.
