PEKADIN HAILS MOVE TO UPGRADE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS

PEKADIN hails move to upgrade vocational schools

KOTA KINABALU 21st May, 2012: The Sabah Kadazandusun Murut Welfare and Education Association (Pekadin), which has been very vocal about the establishment of a Kadazandusun Murut College in Sabah, has hailed the government’s move to accord college status to vocational schools nationwide to by 2013.

Its vice-president Simon Molubi said the initiative was timely and should be supported by all for a fluid transformation of the national education system.

“We at Pekadin see this move as far-sighted vision. It will bring a positive impact as it will open up more chances for less performing students in academic matters to further their study up to diploma level,” he told Bernama, here, yesterday.

Simon said this when asked to comment on the statement by the Education Deputy Minister Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi on the matter on Saturday.

Mohd Fuad in his statement on Saturday had announced that 15 vocational schools in each state had been upgraded to the college status under a pilot programme to transform the education system.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is expected to perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the Kadazandusun Murut College on 10 June in Kaingaran, Tambunan.

It will come a day after the 1Malaysia Kaamatan national-level celebration in Keningau.

Deputy Chief Minister, Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan, who is also president of the Kadazandusun Cultural Association, described the college as a symbol of pride for the KDM community.

Kolej KDM satu pengiktarafan, kata Pairin

pengwujudan kolej KDM yang terletak di Skim Kaingaran Tambunan juga menjadi simbol kepada kebanggaan masyarakat ini terutama sekali dari segi kemajuan dan pembangunan budaya dan pendidikan anak-anak negeri Sabah.

“Saya berharap kolej ini akan menjadi satu institusi yang dapat mengembangkan bahasa ibunda masyarakat ini yang telah mula dilupakan di negeri ini.”

Timbalan Ketua Menteri, Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan
