俞小珊:冻结独中国际生申请不合理

针对教育部和移民局冻结独中的国际学生申请,砂拉越人联党埔奕支部主席兼埔奕立法议员俞小珊发文告表示,这是在开倒车及不合理的举动,教育部必须马上进行解决。 他说,正当马来西亚旅游部和砂拉越政府正在积极推动第二大马家园计划,教育部却做出如此的决定实在令人不解,而当局给出的理由却是这基于还检讨私立教育的运营政策。 林慧英难辞其咎 俞小珊表示,既然还在检讨中,何须如此急切地冻结国际学生申请?教育部完全可以在边检讨的情况下继续开放申请,等待检讨的政策完成后,再针对不足之处做出修改即可。 另外,根据教育部的文告指出,教育部不曾冻结华文独中的国际学生申请。既然如此,为何会有教育部及移民局官员告知政府已经冻结了独中招收国际学生申请? 俞小珊说,这已经不是首次,部长、副部长、教育部和官员口径不一致的“罗生门”事件,之前40段圣训一事上也是如此,而来自行动党的教育部副部长林慧英难辞其咎。 他说,行动党过去在野时期以捍卫华教为己任,频频抨击政府对华教不公平,以此来获得选民支持。如今行动党已入朝和持有副教育部长一职,表现却不尽如人意,而行动党40个国会议员显然辜负华社的支持。 他续指出,马来西亚作为中国海外最为完善的华文独中教育,水准一直都被世界各地认可,也是推动第二家园计划的一大卖点。华文独中和国际学校,一般是投资经商的外籍人士,以第二家园计划下,为孩子申请入学的学校,这有助于推动国家经济发展和文化推广。 俞小珊表示,董总和教总在过去几个月,尝试通过内部管道协调却频繁碰壁,这显示教育部并没有诚意面对问题,或者教育部存在内部沟通问题,这便是管理不当,教育部必须正视。 他称,相较西马,砂拉越政府已承认独中统考文凭,并坚持协助华教发展,每年定期拨款给独中教育经费,可是,如今联邦政府却连华小拨款都没办法公布;为此,砂拉越政府必须加快争取和落实教育自主权。
