KUALA TERENGGANU: About 6,000 secondary school students in Terengganu are involved in social problems like truancy, mat rempit, crime and drug abuse.State Exco for Education, Higher Education, Science & Technology and Human Resource Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman said the state government took a serious view although it was small compared to the 250,000 student population.
He said the state government and Education Department were taking measures to check the unhealthy problem.
“The presence of just one high risk student in a school will inconvenience teachers and other students,” Ahmad Razif said.
Police recently briefed the state government and Education Department on the high risk schools in Terengganu. — Bernama
