GEORGE TOWN, Sept 4 — The Penang state government is willing to provide land if the Education Ministry decides to relocate the national-type Convent Light Street primary and secondary schools, said Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.“The state education department has said that surrounding schools are able to cater to the population in the event that Convent Light Street stops as a national school,” he told reporters today.

Convent Light Street has stopped enrolment of new students after its landowner, The Infant Jesus Sisters Malaysia, decided to take back its land. The Christian organisation has obtained approval from the Education Ministry to take back its land in 2018. Yesterday, the organisation announced that it will be collaborating with education provider, ACE Edventure, to open a private international school within part of CLS’ premises.
