SEREMBAN: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in his last function as a Cabinet minister today suggested that the management of private schools network with government schools.

He said this would provide them the opportunity to share the best practices in education.

He said the best practices covered aspects on learning in classrooms, co-curriculum activities, management and leadership in school and instilling universal values.

“Through this approach, the process of transforming the education system as a whole can be expedited and the benefits can be enjoyed by more teachers and students,” he said.

Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said this when opening an international conference at the Matrix Global Schools, which is the largest private education institution in Negeri Sembilan, in Bandar Sri Sendayan here today.

Also present were Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan; Matrix Concepts Holdings Berhad chairman Datuk Mohamad Haslah Mohamad Amin and founder/group managing director of Matrix Concepts Holdings Berhad, Datuk Lee Tian Hock.
