Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the HPS’ accomplishments had proven that the country’s education system is capable of producing brilliant students.
The ministry would provide an allocation annually for the HPS’ administration and their parent-teachers’ association to identify enhancement strategies through teaching and learning technique intervention, he said.
He said this to reporters here on Thursday, after presenting the certificate of recognition to nine headmasters and four principals whose schools have made it into the HPS list under Cohort 5 this year.
