Chapter 1 - Report of the Education and Public Relations Group enable disadvantaged OA children to fully realise their potential. The Commission is also of the opinion that the MOE should give serious consideration to the teaching and learning of OA languages and Indigenous Knowledge in line with Articles 14 and 15 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). The MOE should give serious consideration to the teaching and learning of OA languages and Indigenous Knowledge in line with Articles 14 and 15 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) The Commission noticed that there were no schools in some OA settlements such as in Pos Gob and Pos Hau in Kelantan and Kampung Selauh in Perak, although there were children of school-going age at the settlements. To complement the Government built schools, the Commission is of the opinion that the Government should consider the establishment of Community Schools in settlements where no schools are provided by the Government. The Community Schools could to a certain extent introduce and improve literacy and numeracy besides teaching arts and culture including the OA language of that particular settlement. The Commission also suggests that these schools employ the community itself to manage the schools with monetary and technical assistance from the relevant agencies. The Commission visited the Kanaq community settlement in Kota Tinggi. Currently, only 87 persons classified as belonging to the Kanaq tribe exist and most of them are illiterate. The Commission observed that the children of this community rarely attend school although transportation is provided by JAKOA. The reasons given were that they were often bullied and were not well received by other children in the schools. The Kanaq are basically a very shy and reserved community. The number of school-going children, as provided by JAKOA, is summarised thus: 3/6 (pre-school level), 6/16 (primary level) and 0/27 (secondary level). Their attendance was not very regular. The Commission was informed that the community does not practise most of their OA traditions, which means that this tribe is losing their traditional knowledge such as culture, arts and crafts, medicine, values and beliefs. (d) Sekolah Agama Rakyat (SAR) As a continuation of its effort to familiarise administrators and teachers of SAR with principles of human rights, the Commission conducted four workshops on Human Rights Education for SAR teachers in 2014. The Commission also visited the SAR located within the Peninsula to observe the problems that they faced. Although the Commission was informed that many of the SAR are now registered with the MOE, the Commission observed during its visits that there are still many gaps that need to be addressed. For example, the teaching and learning facilities are still wanting. IT facilities are lacking and hostels, sports facilities, buildings, toilets and bathrooms, living skills workshops and other facilities are dilapidated, inadequate or in need of repairs or replacement.
