KUANTAN: The selfless act of two teachers from SK Paya Bungor, near here, who went over and above their duty to fetch an Orang Asli Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) candidate for her exams has been praised by netizens. She then opened the bedroom door and gave the excuse that her school uniform was wet and that she had no other uniform set available. He noted that many Orang Asli pupils have low self-esteem and if their school uniform was different from that of their peers, they have been known not to attend school due to a sense of shame. Previously, we had also done so with Primary Four and Primary Five pupils to ensure they attend school," he said. This is an effort to raise awareness among the Orang Asli pupils on the importance of education.
