It's always great to hear from Malaysia. Hopefully the school administrators will see how important cultural diversity is in education. Akbar – Thank you for your comment.

We in Malaysia need to see school issues and problems in a broader perspective. Cultural diversity has been sidelined in curriculum implementation and design so that some school programmes are not relevant to children immediate need. Interesting article.

It sounds like they have had significant success with some of their programs they have implemented to combat the problem. Most importantly though, it sounds like the British government recognizes education as a high priority, has committed to supporting the school's efforts and not just provided lip service.
