“However, on April 15 when we visited the education office to further negotiate on the closing issue, we were instead given the final notice to close down the centre a month earlier.” He added that as many as 260 students aged five to 16 had been affected by the closure of his centre.According to Michael Liman, the centre tries to provide its students with an experience similar to that in public schools.
