Discipline, standards drawing non-Chinese students to Chinese schools, says academic - superadmin - 02-20-2025 PETALING JAYA:The perception that Chinese-type schools maintain stricter discipline and higher educational standards has led to an increase in the enrolment of non-Chinese students, says an academic. However, Teo Kok Seong said the trend also underscores a growing concern about the quality and direction of national schools. Teo, a senior fellow with the National Council of Professors, said parents are of the view that Chinese-type schools offer better quality education due to their rigorous academic culture. “Chinese school principals are very strict. They set a high standard for all to follow,” Teo told FMT. Their teachers are also regarded as hardworking and punctual, he added. - More -
