Parents of SK Assunta 1 and 2 were shocked when offer letters to register their year 6 daughters into SMK Assunta were not to be. Only 43 of 148 of SK1 and 17 of 139 of SK2 girls were offered into SMK Assunta, what was traditionally over the last 51 years, a 100% automatic transfer.
The Selangor education department denied knowledge and urged parents to enquire with the district education office. Reasons provided were found to be unacceptable causing the parents to stage a protest outside the school on Monday.
NTV7 aired the protest followed by reports in NST and vernacular dailies today. Within 12 hours of airing, the district education office had re-instated feeder school status to SK1 and 2 and announced that new letters of offer would be sent out immediately.
Recently, parents of SK1 and 2 had convened separate EGMs to take a vote on PPSMI. A resounding 96% wanted PPSMI to be retained.
Parents should exercise their rights. Syabas, Assunta!

Parents are direct stakeholders to the education system. They should be listened to by the politicians and educators alike.
Parents are not to be pushed around. We are reasonable, rational and have no hidden agenda.
Our intentions are pure.
Good job, Assunta!
Automatic enrolment in SMK Assunta
All SK Assunta pupils will be automatically enrolled in SMK Assunta.
Selangor Education director, Dr Zahari Aziz, apologises to parents.
Should we tolerate such nonsense and let the irresponsible officer go unpunished?
Policies/decisions made must be to the benefit of RAKYAT!
Dig out the name of the person who made this outrageous decision. There should be at least a warning given, otherwise what's there to stop a repeat of such stunt in the future?
Let the stunts repeat themselves. Just call in the press and wait for the apologies!
Woes of Assunta pupils solved.
Looks like holding public protests and calling in the press is the best way to get the authorities to listen...
