Mission Our mission is to empower communities through Tamil education and Tamil education-centred networking by developing practical programmes grounded on rigorous research and analysis, and by disseminating the gathered knowledge. We aim to do this by being the leading independent Tamil educational research and development body in Malaysia, closely linked with Parent-Teacher Associations, Headmasters’ Councils and School Boards nationwide, with a diversified portfolio of research, information and development activities that spans all sectors of Tamil education and to the extent needed, Tamil language and Tamil culture.
