About Yik Ching High School

Yik Ching High School (班台育青中学) is a Chinese Independent High School in Pantai Remis, a coastal town in the Manjung district of Perak. The school was founded in 1962 and is one of nine Chinese Independent High Schools operating across Perak. As a community-funded, not-for-profit secondary school, it relies on tuition, donations, and fundraising from the local Chinese community rather than government funding.

The school takes in graduates from Chinese primary schools (SJK(C)) in Pantai Remis and the wider Manjung area, including pupils from semi-government Chinese primary schools nearby. Mandarin is the main medium of instruction, and the school places weight on trilingual ability in Chinese, Malay, and English. Enrolment stands at more than 400 students.

Curriculum at Yik Ching High School

Yik Ching High School runs the Chinese Independent High School curriculum built around the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC). Study is organised into two stages: Junior Middle 1 to 3 and Senior Middle 1 to 3. Junior Middle classes are taught as a single track without subject streaming. At Senior Middle, students split into a science stream or an arts-commerce stream depending on their chosen direction.

The UEC is administered by the United Chinese School Committees Association of Malaysia (Dong Zong), the national body that governs the Chinese independent school system. Lessons are delivered mainly in Mandarin, with Bahasa Melayu taught as a compulsory subject and English carried through both stages. The UEC is the required examination for every student, while the government SPM examination is optional for those who want a recognised national certificate as well.

Fees at Yik Ching High School

Yik Ching High School keeps tuition low in line with its community-funded model.

The school also offers scholarships and fee assistance based on entrance examination performance and family circumstances.

Published figures change from year to year, and there may be additional charges for registration, books, uniforms, and activities. Families should contact the school directly on 05-6771379 to confirm current fees before enrolling.

Admissions at Yik Ching High School
