PUTRAJAYA, 25 JAN, 2010: Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today announced that 20 schools – 14 secondary and six primary – had been accorded the status of high performance schools or Sekolah Berprestasi Tinggi (SBTs).
Muhyiddin, who is also Education Minister, said of the 14 secondary schools, 10 were fully residential schools and the rest day schools.
“These schools were chosen from among schools that showed outstanding performance in the field of academia, co-curriculum and niche areas.
“The schools will be guided and monitored closely to ensure they continue to attain even higher levels of performance,” he told reporters at his office here today.
At the same time, Muhyiddin stressed that SBTs were not elite schools which benefited only a limited number of students.
Instead, he said each school in the country had the same opportunity and a level playing field to be recognised as SBTs.
“Any school that meets the targets of excellence and criteria set (by the Education Ministry) will be recognised as a SBTs and get the same privileges,” he said.
Muhyiddin said the ministry targeted to have 30 SBTs by next year and 50 in 2012.
He said the rationale in having SBTs was to raise the quality of the best schools in the country to be world class, produce outstanding students and narrow the gap between schools within the system.
He said SBTs would be given additional autonomy to pursue innovation in school management and raise the productivity of students.
As for curriculum, he said, it would be flexible in terms of teaching and learning as well as syllabi for compulsory and elective subjects, conforming to public examinations and use of the national language as the medium of instruction or multiple languages.
Beside these, Muhyiddin said the schools concerned were also given leeway in fixing the minimum periods for subjects, extending schooling hours and allowing students to complete their studies a year earlier, just like the express promotion system that was introduced previously.
In terms of budget ownership, he said a lump sum grant would be channelled to the schools at the beginning of each year and that they would have the full flexibility to spend as needed and were exempted from the ministry’s centralised procurement system.
“Every school has its own budget, but with this status, they will be given additional funds and they can use the money as needed,” he said, adding that the grant might be less than RM1 million but had not been fixed yet as this depended on the size of the SBT.
He also said management of staff at these schools would be based on meritocracy and not seniority, besides flexibility given for the paying of overtime and performance incentives.
“There will also be flexibility to re-assign under performing staff and delegation of functions based on academic and non-academic reasons,” he said.

To a noob like me, I cannot recognise this logo..
It was parked right next to my beat-up old jalopy
My Unser that had served me for more than 10 years
The insignia of the car close-up
Oh!!! It's a Maserati!!!!!
I pulled out this particular long weeds from a pot, and the whole clump of it came out, grass, plant (choked, dried and overwhelmed) soil (dried out ball of roots strangled by weeds) came clean from the pot.
The lallang that had overgrown and overpowered whatever original plant that was in there
Instead of the weeds coming out, the whole plant with the soil and grass (ball of root), came out
This is how the clump of roots, soil and weeds looked like in the pot....I was ready to toss it, but I wanted to save whatever soil that could be salvaged by shaking the soil to loosen it from the ball of roots....then I saw it...
Peering out from a hole within its secret hiding place in the crevices between the roots and soil
was my beautiful baby snake.

Another section of the popular outlet, it seeks to recreate a Swiss feel
Here my sister is about to demonstrate to foreign Marche workers
It is not as easy as it looks...your hands have to be deft and sure
the battter has to be of the right consistency, thickness and you've got to work fast as the skillet is hot
then you have to wrap expertly or all the ingredients will fall out!
the right balance of fillings
no one can do it like she does
versatile: sweet crepes for dessert too
this is the picture used to blow up into the banner
now: 2011, her expertise is recognised and the banner using her photo to advertise for Marche is outside Food Republic on the way to Marche!

After a short wait, the window was opened and the school reps took the results slip and analysis
I took mine and before I went off, I saw Pn G (in white lace kebaya) in the queue behind me so I waited for her to get school's results, then we sat down to pore over the results. The night before we already knew that Ling is one of the 5 top National Scorers with a perfect score of 4 and will be getting his award at this time.
Then I went back to my school and students were waiting at the foyer.
Last year's Form Teachers busy preparing the files to put in leaving certs and testimonials for the ex-students together with their results.
We have three top scorers for the school. Total number of candidates is 24.
