SERDANG: Parents should send their children to only registered tuition centres to ensure against unwanted incidents happening.
Education Director-General Datuk Seri Dr Khair Muhamad Yusof said safety guidelines had already been established for all registered private schools and tuition centres.
“The safety guidelines have already been prepared for all tuition operators to follow,” he said on Friday.
Dr Khair was commenting on the case at a tuition centre in Malacca where a 14-year-old boy was found to have had sex with an eight-year-old girl in different classes at the centre over three months.
In another case, an eight-year-old boy was reported to have fallen to his death while attending tuition classes at an apartment in Bandar Mahkota Cheras.
“We will investigate both matters and if it was caused by the centre’s negligence, we are not going to hesitate to take stern action based on the Private Education Act,” he said.
Dr Khair added that operators must be held fully responsible, as the cases had happened under their supervision at their premises.
“Their licenses will be revoked if it’s found that they have failed to adhere to the guidelines provided,” he said, adding that private colleges, schools and tuition centre operators were monitored by the Education Ministry constantly.
“Parents should also check the status of the private institution that they wish to send their children to with the Ministry’s private education department or with state Education Department,” he said.(Ads club: Rexel SmartCut A300 )
