Opening our schools is not a refugee policy开放学校并非难民政策。
Refugee children in the country have as much right to education as anyone else. But it should be via internationally-funded institutions, not our national schools.

IT’S a bad idea for Malaysia to open government schools to refugees. The reasons are simple: Our classrooms are already crowded, teachers are overworked, and the cost of running schools continues to rise as we grapple with limited resources and quality of education.
While it is difficult to argue against educating refugee children, opening our national school system to them could create more problems than it solves.

马来西亚向难民开放公立学校是个糟糕的主意。原因很简单：我们的教室已经人满为患，教师工作量过大，而且在我们努力应对资源有限和教育质量下降的困境的同时，学校的运营成本却在不断上涨。
虽然很难反对对难民儿童进行教育，但向他们开放我们的国家学校系统可能会带来比解决的问题更多的问题。
