Advisor Ganesan says his movement will seek NGO help in its attitude-changing programme.
PETALING JAYA: Hindraf will be engaging with civil society in implementing its education blueprint for the Indian community.
“Hindraf’s effort is to enable every Indian child in Malaysia to unleash its potential through training and a proper transformation process,” N Ganesan, the movement’s advisor, told FMT today.
According to him, 30% of Indian students who enter the education system would drop out before they even reach the SPM level and another 30% would fail SPM. Every year, only 3, 000 would enroll for tertiary education.
Ganesan said Hindraf was targeting 100% survival up to SPM level so that no Indian child entering the the education system would drop out before completing secondary education.
“Our objective is to have these students go through an attitude transformation and not get involved in any form of gangsterism or anything else that may jeopardise their education.”
He said Hindraf was willing to work with any civic group that had good programmes for attitude transformation.
“We intend to guide Indian students all the way from pre-school right up to their higher education,” he said.
“Our goal is to establish a situation where every student who enters the education system completes SPM.
“We are here to bring light into the lives of people and not to win in politics.”
As a start, Hindraf held a meeting with several Indian-based NGOs last Saturday at Putrajaya to discuss education issues affecting the Indian community. The meeting was chaired by Hindraf chairman and deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, P Waythamoorthy.
