In a written reply in Parliament, Mohd Radzi said based on the data from the Education Ministry, the enrolment trend among Malay students in these schools showed an increase from 9.5% in 2010 to 15.33% this year.

For Indian students, the data showed an increase from 1.67% to 2.75% in the same period.

The data for the other races showed an increase from 1.02% in 2010 to 1.67% in 2020.

"However, the percentage of enrolment of Chinese students in Chinese vernacular schools showed a decrease from 88.16% in 2010 to 80.25% in 2020," Mohd Radzi told Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad (PH-Setiawangsa).
