GEORGE TOWN: Daring to be different, the headmaster of Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) Sungai Ara near here is applying a fun approach to learning at the school. Headmaster, S. Sangga, 57, said the fun approach did not conflict with the policies laid down by the Ministry of Education. Instead of burdening his 130 students with homework, Sangga emphasised on hands-on and practical learning which was more effective in improving their knowledge and skills. Even during the school holidays pupils can use it, on condition they are accompanied by their parents,” he said. Asked whether the teachers had difficulty following his new approach, he said the 13 teachers at the school did not have any problem adapting.
