Bumiputra student enrolment in Chinese schools has increased by 58.5% over the last decade, while bumiputra student enrolment in international schools has surged by nearly 50% in the past five years.
This trend has meant that Malaysian students now comprise two-thirds of the international school student population.
Why do parents seem to be opting out of national schools, and what are the broader implications of this shift? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Shahnaz Al-Sadat, Prof Tajuddin Rasdi and Dr Kua Kia Soong.
