-- Contractors are unable to complete the construction of 16 new school buildings in Kelantan before the start of the 2010 school session on Jan 3, Deputy Education Minister Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi said Wednesday.
He said the delay in the completion of these 14 secondary school buildings and two national school buildings had various consequences, including having to raise the density of students in each existing classroom.
This high density forced the students to study in discomfort and adversely affected their concentration on the lessons, he told reporters at the presentation of excellence service awards of the Bachok District Education Office, here.
It placed a burden on the teachers because they were unable to deliver their lessons more effectively when the number of students in a classroom exceeded 30, he said.
Dr Mohd Puad also said that the delay in completing the construction of school buildings forced the postponement of the plan to have single-session schools. more
