Batu Pahat school makes U-turn

Dr Mah: ‘It contradicts with the five pillars of the National Education Blueprint.’

JOHOR BARU: A Johor school’s decision to segregate co-curricular activities based on race and gender has been nixed, following a national uproar and the intervention of the Education Ministry.

Over the last few days, a notice issued by Batu Pahat’s SMK Dato Bentara Luar has gone viral, with the notice clearly stipulating that students should opt for co-curricular activities, including sports, based on their race and gender.
