TAMIL school educators and activists have called for a special task force to coordinate the relocation of 157 Tamil schools at risk of closure, reported Malaysia Nanban.
Coordinator for a group of Tamil education NGOs M. Vetrivelan said RM100mil should be allocated for the relocations, with the fund administered by a special task force under the Prime Minister’s Department.
The government was urged to relocate at least five schools annually, prioritising those with potential to attract more pupils.
