Tamils schools going through a transformation

DR DENISON: 'The performance of Tamil schools is now comparable to national and Chinese schools.'

A RENAISSANCE, revolution or revival? Call it what you will but Tamil schools are shedding their image of being “second rate” and are well on the way to becoming the preferred option for many Malaysian Indians. Higher enrolment, better results in public examinations and a bigger participation by the middle class are among the factors that are slowly changing the public’s perception of Tamil schools.
