KUALA LUMPUR: A concerted effort by education authorities helped reduce the number of school dropouts by more than 10,000 students during the Covid-19 pandemic period, says Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon.

"Based on statistics, a total of 11,301 school dropouts were recorded between March and December last year."This brings the total number of dropouts from March last year and July this year to 21,316 students, as given in the written reply to Kangar the other day.

These efforts included intervention, counselling and guidance programmes after identifying students at risk of dropping out of school, he added. Earlier, to a question by Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz , Mah said the ministry had implemented a curriculum empowerment programme, KPMPerkasaKU, in September to focus on literacy among students.
