link-way

successfully, in present:

for reading and writing (KIA 2M)” to provide basic skills for
Standard One pupils in national and vernacular schools.
 This is also to identify those students who are actually
handicapped in reading and writing, a disability better known
as dyslexia and ensure that they are sent to special schools
to deal with such disability.
