The registration drive for Year One students at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) for the 2018 school session will be held simultaneously at all 524 SJKTs nationwide, beginning March 11.
Action Plan for the Future of Tamil Schools coordinator, Prof Datuk Dr N. S. Rajendran said the registration drive would run until March 30.
"To register their children, parents must bring along the birth certificate of the child, a copy of the parents' identity cards, copy of the parents' marriage registration certificate, parents' pay slips and utility bills as proof of residential address," he told a press conference Wednesday.
Those who registered after the closing date would still be accepted but considered as late registration, he said.
Rajendran said this time, about 15,000 pupils were expected to register through enrolment drive.
"This is the fourth year the enrolment drive is being organised at SJKTs. Last year's programme saw 14,000 pupils registered," he added.
According to him, since the Action Plan for the Future of Tamil Schools was established under the Prime Minister's Department in 2012, more than RM800 million had been allocated for SJKTs nationwide. - Bernama
