More Chinese primary schools opt for digital learning

BY AMANDA YEAP, The Star

A fifth of the 1,298 Chinese vernacular primary schools in the country have remodeled themselves as digital schools to attract enrolment, says Deputy Education Minister Datuk Chong Sin Woon (pix). He said the growing trend of modernising Chinese school education was due to stiff competition faced by the schools. “Starting from 2013 onward, this trend is especially prevalent among schools in the rural areas because they strive to rise to the same performance level as schools in the city. “Many parents too feel more confident in enrolling their children into a school equipped with contemporary teaching and learning equipment,” Chong told a press conference on Monday.
