Students Leave Chinese Schools for an International Education
Published by SchoolAdvisor | Jan 12, 2015
Jiao Zong (United Chinese School Teachers Association) while presenting the report on "Changes in the number of Chinese primary schools and pupils from 2000 to 2014" on 10 January 2014 said there has been an alarming decline in the enrollment of students to national-type Chinese schools.
The 8.53% drop has been non-stop since 2007 and has been attributed to a declining birth rate, migration overseas and more parents sending their children to international schools in Malaysia.
The report highlighted that in the year 2008, approximately 98,171 pupils were enrolled in Chinese schools but by the time the students reach Year 6, there were only 93,020 of them left, indicating a drain of 5,151 pupils in five years or 1,030 a year.
