Executive Summary From the 35 schools visits conducted, it was found that many of the schools have implemented the programme albeit some had misunderstood the nature of the programme while a few had assigned untrained teachers to conduct the programme in their schools. The Commission had taken note that lack of reading materials was among some of the constraints faced by the schools in conducting the programme. To mitigate this, the Commission had produced 2 child friendly booklets on the CRC which have been distributed to schools. Of the complaints received by the Commission during its visits to Orang Asli schools, the timely disbursement of monies from the Kumpulan Amanah Pelajar Miskin (KWAPM) to the school children has yet to be resolved despite being outstanding for almost a decade due to the lack of coordination among the departments involved. Other complaints received included the late distribution and oversized school uniforms given to the school children, the need for basic amenities and better facilities for schools and continuality of schooling for K9 students. The Commission recommended that community schools be established in settlements where there are no schools. In acquiring literacy and numeracy skills, the student could also be taught OA arts and culture to preserve their heritage. The Commission also recommended that the Integrated Curriculum for Orang Asli and Penan Schools (KAP) be continued for schoolchildren to learn on their own pace. The Division had also conducted training programmes for the Law Enforcement Agencies including the Royal Malaysia Police, People’s Volunteer Corps (RELA), Prison Department and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) as well as the local councils in Selangor.
