Affordable, but...

I have a child currently enrolled in Year 2. The monthly tuition is approximately 900 ringgit, which is quite reasonable for an international school. Children who lack sufficient English proficiency follow a system where they first study the basics in an English intensive class for around the first six months (varies by individual), and then transition to regular classes. The school is run by an Indian management company, with a notably large population of Indian students. The impression is that Japanese students are relatively few in number. However, I did notice some concerns regarding the educational aspect. My child told me about being struck on the hand by a teacher when unable to write neatly. I've also heard accounts of teachers who respond emotionally. Furthermore, I've heard from my child that there have been insensitive comments directed at Japanese students in the same grade. For example, there was reportedly a comment along the lines of "Japanese students don't understand English, so even if they ask questions they won't understand," which was disappointing to hear. Regarding facilities, there are times when toilet paper is not restocked, and I feel there is room for improvement in terms of hygiene. Classes end relatively early, with students heading home around 1 PM. Some students receive approximately one hour of remedial classes after school, which is provided free of charge, and we appreciate this. Overall, the affordability of tuition is a major attraction. However, families who prioritize educational quality and support systems may find the school insufficient. Rather than a school that provides extensive care, I believe this is a school suited for families wanting to send their children to an international school while keeping costs down.
