THE Education Ministry won’t take parents to court for not sending their children to school, even as it aspires to make secondary education compulsory.

“Even though the implication and the law is there to punish parents, I think we should focus on emphasising how important education is, addressing the issue of student dropouts, and making sure every child has equal access to education,” said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
