KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — The standard operating procedure (SOP) for the maintenance of sports facilities in schools will be improved to ensure that the school compound is accident-free, said Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
She said the Education Ministry will also ensure that the State Education Department (JPN), the District Education Office and schools monitor all sports infrastructure and school grounds are safe for students to use.
"School administrators should always remind students to be vigilant when doing activities outside of class," she said in a post on her Facebook account today.
Fadhlina also expressed her condolences to the family of an 11-year-old student who died after being struck by the crossbar of a goal post during a co-curricular activity at St. Kebangsaan St. Anthony in Bintulu, Sarawak, yesterday.
" The Education Ministry will extend assistance to the victim’s family through the JPN.”
Fadhlina also said the Education Ministry will cooperate with the police to assist in the investigation.
