The debate over vernacular schools in Malaysia is a complex issue deeply embedded in the nation’s social fabric.
Critics argue that these schools can foster division, while supporters believe they enhance cultural understanding.
Meanwhile, the increasing enrollment of ethnic Malay students in Chinese vernacular schools adds a new layer to the discussion.
KiniTV explores the arguments both for and against vernacular schools. Is single-stream education the key to national harmony – or do vernacular schools play a crucial role in creating a truly inclusive society?
KiniTV also examines this multifaceted issue and considers the future of education in Malaysia.
