Convent Schools in Malaysia

The history of government aided Convent Schools in Malaysia began in the middle of the nineteenth century. The arrival of the Infant Jesus Sisters and Canossian Sisters to our shores marked the beginning of these Convent Schools that will go on the produce a legacy of great women who have contributed much to our nation. By the beginning of the last century, almost every major town in the country had at least one Convent School, and these all-girls schools rapidly became an integral part of out nation's education system and culture, excelling in many areas particularly English Language-based ones. However, the number of Convent schools in a region depended on the level of influence the British colonial masters had there, which is why some states like Penang and Perak have many Convent Schools, while others like Kelantan and Terengganu don't have any. There are about 30 secondary Convent schools and 40 primary ones in Malaysia.
