Alarming dropout rate prompts group to educate parents

Three civil society organisations have joined hands in drawing up a programme with the aim of empowering parents to cope with the "alarming" problem of school dropouts.

The programme, entitled "Ibubapa Memastikan Peningkatan Akademik Anak" (Impak), will allow the organisations to work with parents to increase their involvement with their children’s academic studies and help in their learning process from home.
