PUTRAJAYA, Sept 23 – The Ministry of Education (MoE) is assuming responsibility for the education of over 300 children rescued through Op Global, effective Oct 1, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
She explained that a special curriculum would be developed for these children, as many have not had access to formal education.
“The education process will take place at their current shelters, where they are being cared for and protected. At present, their 3M skills—reading, writing, and counting—along with their psychosocial well-being, are being assessed.
“Once this evaluation is complete, the MoE will fully take over their educational needs,” she told reporters after the ministry’s monthly assembly today.
Fadhlina added that the special curriculum would be organised into three groups: preschool, primary, and secondary school levels.
It was previously reported that the police, through Op Global, rescued 402 individuals, aged one to 17 years, suspected of being victims of exploitation, in raids conducted at 20 charity homes in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.
