School Registration Day

January 2nd, 2009 at 13:14 · Filed Under Blogging, Chinese, Dmitry, Education 

Today is Dmitry’s registration day! We woke up a bit late today and got ready then rushed out the house by 0730. We dropped Richie and Nik at grandma’s.

We enrolled our boys into national school. There are a total of 42 students in his class. Three Chinese including Dmitry and four Indians. The number of Chinese and Indians are not many. During the parents briefing session, we were surprised to hear that the school is teaching Chinese language to non-Malay students. However, enrollment is opened to everyone. Enrollment forms were given out at the end of the briefing. Many Malay parents were rushing to the forms! By the time LA submitted the form, there were already more than 50 enrollments! Another surprise for us.

The Chinese education is always an issue in Malaysia. I don’t see why should they make an issue out of this. Chinese who have migrated to the West, do not demand special education for their children. Instead, they blend into mainstream education and society. So, why the FUD?

The answer is very simple, the Chinese politicians want to control and manipulate the Chinese population so that they can have their votes. Those f***ing Chinese politicians! Please mind your own politics and stay out of education!

    That is a lot of students in a class – are they going to be able to get the requisite attention for learning. Nothing wrong with learning Chinese – just make sure the English, Science and Math is top notch and a language is always a plus – in fact in the US, there is a push to teach Chinese besides other European and Latin languages (German, French, Italian and Spanish). What is the form rushing about? I don’t get it.

    保留我们的根？文化？

    何谓“过年”、“挂红彩”、中秋、冬至、等等？

    你都不敢以真姓名和电邮址示人 (dddssad@addfa.com)，说什么根和文化？难道你所谓的文化是做一位没有懒趴的华人？

    I agree with you Adrian and I am going to send my kid to national school. My daughter is 5 yo now. How do I register, where and when? Can I register online? Thanks.

    Bring along your child’s birth certificate to the school you want to register to. Go to the school office during their office hour. If there is any seat available, they shall be able to register your child. The office will record your child and your details and stamp on the back of your child’s birth certificate.

    The school will send a letter to you when your child is ready to enter school at the age of 7.

    I hope this helps.
