Kelantan Govt Orders Yik Schools To Tighten Dorm Rules To Curb Misconduct
KOTA BHARU, April 24 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan government has directed all schools under the Yayasan Islam Kelantan (YIK) to strengthen and revise their dormitory regulations to prevent disciplinary misconduct that could lead to student injuries. State Education, Higher Learning, Green Technology, Digital and Innovation Committee chairman Datuk Wan Roslan Wan Hamat said the move is to ensure that incidents such as playing with firecrackers in school areas, particularly in dormitories, which could lead to injuries, do not recur. "Dormitory rules already exist, but we need to strengthen and tighten them further. Schools must also carry out more frequent spot checks, especially during festive seasons. "The recent case at a religious school in Jeli was an isolated one, out of 30,000 students, only one committed such an offence. However, it still warrants attention, as it resulted in permanent disability for the student involved," he told a press conference after the announcement of the 2024 Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination results for YIK schools at the YIK Office in Tunjong here today. On March 24, a student at a religious school in Jeli lost part of his left finger, resulting in permanent disability, while two of his friends sustained injuries after allegedly playing with modified firecrackers. Meanwhile, Wan Roslan said 192 candidates under YIK obtained between 9As and 12As in the 2024 SPM, with 80 of them achieving straight As in all subjects. "In terms of percentage, the full pass rate for the 2024 SPM was 97.50 per cent compared to 96.65 per cent in 2023, showing an increase of 0.86 per cent. Based on a detailed analysis, 42 schools recorded a 100 per cent pass rate. "According to the School Average Grade (GPS), the top-performing schools were Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Darul Saadah, Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Wal Qiraat, and Maahad Sains Tok Guru," he said. -- BERNAMA
