Free schooling next year (Budget 2008)

Free schooling next year

SCHOOLING in Malaysia will be essentially free from next year.

This is because the annual school fees of RM4.50 for primary schools and RM9 for secondary schools will be abolished under Budget 2008.

Textbooks will also be provided free to all students through the Textbook Loan Scheme.

The examination fee for the Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) will also be abolished from next year.

Recognising the importance of co-curricular activities, students from families which earn a monthly income of RM1,000 or less will receive a free uniform for one uniformed activity they join.

Quoted from " http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/9/8/budget2008/18824597&sec=budget2008 "

This is a great start for all the future children everyone has a textbook to study no more unfairness to those poor students! Huuraaay!!!

Hope to see more good stuffs ( more than 10 good stuffs) in the next budget =P
