Education for stateless children

AS expressed by Datuk Seri Fatimah Abdullah, Sarawak’s Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development Minister recently, the decision by the Education Ministry to allow stateless children rights to education starting this year is a welcome move.

Previously, such children were only allowed into primary schools based on the kindness or discretion of headmasters but they were not allowed to continue to secondary education levels.
