School transfer woes

PARENTS who live a stone’s throw away from a particular school normally feel their children are entitled to be enrolled in that school, especially if they consider that a “good” school.

However, reality can be rather cruel, as some parents have discovered that there is no such thing as “automatic enrolment” into schools that are recognised as Sekolah Kluster Kecemerlangan (SKK) and Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi (SBT) by the Education Ministry.
