PETALING JAYA: The government must undertake a thorough study before admitting refugee children into public schools to prevent them from being alienated and subjected to bullying, a refugee activist said.
Fugee School co-founder Deborah Henry said every effort must be made to build trust so that refugee children can be assimilated into the national education system alongside local students who must learn to co-exist with them.“If it’s not done well, we will end up with bullying. We will end up with the refugee kids feeling alienated and not wanting to go to school,” said Henry.
The education ministry said in June that rules on school admission would be amended to ensure that all children, including those of non-citizens and undocumented people, have access to education.Henry said “the implementation, the management and the process need to be thorough on all sides”, and must be “coupled with comprehensive support and training.”
“If they go to a public school, they will get more opportunities and benefit from more experienced teachers,” she said. She said Malaysia possesses the resources, money and talent which can be mobilised towards providing a better education for refugees.
