PUTRAJAYA: A total of 10,948 special needs students have enrolled in schools since the Education Ministry launched the"Zero Reject Policy" in January.

Besides boosting enrolments of special needs students, Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik said the ministry also enabled 2,635 undocumented children to gain access to education in mainstream schools. "This shows our commitment to children. They have a right to education, whoever they are and wherever they come from," he said, adding that no child will be left behind under Pakatan Harapan's governance."There were 394 projects in 2018, where 301 were issued Certificates of Practical Completion and 93 more are in various stages of completion. Another 107 are in progress and would likely be completed at the end of this year," he said.

He hoped that with the initiatives in place, teachers would be able to return to their core job, which is to teach and not be bogged down by unnecessary work.
