Phor Tay High School (Chinese: 菩提国民型华文中学 ; Malay: Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Phor Tay) is a public, Buddhist, co-educational high school, located in Sungai Dua, Penang. It is the only Buddhist secondary school, where Buddhist education is a compulsory subject for all Buddhist students of the school, in Malaysia. Phor Tay High School was previously an all-girls school. It was officially converted to a co-educational school after its relocation from Jalan Bagan Jermal in 2009. ==History== The school is named after Bodhi which means enlightenment in Sanskrit. It is originated from the efforts of a Buddhist nun called Fang Lian in 1935. She came from the province of Xiamen in China to propagate Buddhism in Penang, Malaysia. Together with her followers, they set up the Phor Tay Institution to propagate Dahrma and train local Dharma preachers. After the demise of Fang in 1939, her followers continued her mission and also initiated secular education through free school. The school was shut down during the Second World War. Phor Tay High School has changed location to Sungai Dua in 2009 due to the demand of national type high schools on the south-west part of Penang Island. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phor Tay High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
