BATU PAHAT: The Education Ministry is trying to resolve issues involving the Dual Language Programme (DLP), which led to a protest by parents in Johor, said Deputy Education Minister Lim Hui Ying.
She said discussions were being held between the state Education Department and the parents involved to find the best solution.
"The state Education Department has started discussing the matter with the parents. We will continue to have talks with them so that both parties can have their voices heard," she told reporters after attending a public higher education institution exhibition here today.
On March 26, it was reported that about 100 parents from Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (Tamil) Jalan Yahya Awal in Johor Baru held a peaceful demonstration about the sudden drop in the number of DLP classes at the school.
Lim said there were 2,240 DLP schools in the country comprising 1,613 primary and 807 secondary schools. --Bernama
