JOHOR BAHRU: The state government plans to launch pilot schools next year to help advance the education system in Johor and make it more competitive and progressive.
Menteri besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the initiative would be implemented in collaboration with the state education department.
He added that the initiative is aligned with directives by the Regent of Johor Tunku Mahkota Ismail, who has stressed the importance of high-quality education.
“Special emphasis will be placed on mastering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), as well as the English language.
“Initially, the programme will include two primary schools and two secondary schools, which are currently being selected by the state education department,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Onn Hafiz is hopeful that the Johor pilot school initiative will produce positive outcomes for the state’s future.
