The Education Ministry has also agreed to upgrade the old school's canteen and toilet.
PETALING JAYA: Students in a Tamil school in Serdang will soon have four spanking new classrooms and repairs done to the existing ones.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, SK Devamany, who confirmed this, said piling works on the two-storey building with eight classrooms for SRJK (T) Serdang will begin this week.
“Construction of a new two-storey concrete panel IBS conventional block which requires piling work will start this week,” Devamany said in a press statement.
The Tamil school building was damaged on Feb 15.
As a result, students were forced to attend classes in cabins.
“Although only 160 students from four classrooms were affected because the ceiling of the classrooms had given way, the school would now have four additional classrooms,” Devamany said.
He said the Education Ministry had also agreed to upgrade the school’s canteen and toilet.
These issues were settled during a meeting held at the ministry this morning, which was attended by the school’s headmaster, Parent-Teacher Association and the school management board chairman.
Devamany said that he was informed that the school block was unsafe and thus was cordoned off on the advice of the Fire and Rescue Department on Feb 15.
He said that he had followed up on the matter by writing to Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on Feb 17.
