(PMO pic)PETALING JAYA : Details of federal government assistance for Chinese- and Tamil-medium schools will be announced in about two weeks, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said today. He said assistance for Islamic educational institutions did not mean the government was neglecting vernacular schools. He said efforts to strengthen Islamic educational institutions had been stepped up since the formation of the unity government. Otherwise, while other schools such as Chinese and Tamil schools continue to be well-managed, pondok schools would be left behind. He announced a total allocation of RM1.29 million to upgrade infrastructure at 13 Islamic educational institutions in Melaka.
