“There are several issues in education we are looking at now, and at the moment I am in the listening process and taking views from all parties, especially via consultations, because this is very important to me before I make any decisions related to the Education Ministry.
“The consultation process involves the ministry’s secretary-general, education directors, teachers, stakeholders, parents, and the children themselves. I will take into consideration all views and criticisms levelled at the ministry seriously,” she told reporters here today.
The Nibong Tebal MP was met after the Perdana Kadun Jawi circumcision programme here today for 100 boys, which was officiated by Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow .
Meanwhile, Fadhlina said she would hold a special press conference next week to announce several matters including arising issues and the Education Ministry’s stance on several matters.
