KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 — The Education Ministry has said that the estimated figure of 100,000 school dropouts given by the non-governmental organisation , Untuk Malaysia, is inaccurate.
"The definition used by the organisation includes student dropouts from the education system including the number of students who registered for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia but did not attend and failed to obtain the certificate," according to the ministry. The ministry, among others, has done a dropout outreach programme in all district education offices with the cooperation of the local community with the intention of giving a focused intervention to help school dropouts to return to school.
