KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Education (MOE) plans to expand the School-in-Hospital (SDH) programme to the Orang Asli Hospital Gombak by the end of this year, said Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
She said the MOE and the Health Ministry (MOH) are currently making thorough preparations to ensure Orang Asli children do not fall behind in their education while receiving treatment in hospital.
“To date, over 50,000 students have benefitted from the SDH programme, which is implemented in 19 healthcare facilities and has produced several success stories.
“For instance, for the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, 91 per cent of SDH students passed and qualified for a certificate,” she told reporters today.
Fadhlina said this after the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation between the MOE and MOH for the implementation of the SDH programme, as well as the launch of the programme at the Cheras Rehabilitation Hospital.
