KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah state government should move to take back state rights in education as concerns rise over Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik's remarks on Islamic conversions in schools. "The use of English and native languages should be brought back in our schools and in our society," Dusing added. The Sabah government, led by Parti Warisan Sabah, has set up an education ministry in the state that it hopes will chart education goals for the future by customising education policies and practices according to local values and contemporary needs. "In fact, we have accepted and embraced many of them as part of our Sabahan family,” Dusing said. He added religious school teachers were supposed to provide Islamic education only to Muslim students in schools and they were not suppose to evangelise and convert other minors.
