The spectre of polarisation rears its ugly head and two prominent personalities have suggested they be closed for a single education system. Supported by Malay NGOs, they claimed that vernacular schools have been the cause of racial polarisation in the country.
We speak to four other personalities, versed in the field of education for their views on this claim.
The four are:
Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim, Chairperions, Parent Action Group for Education (PAGE)
