Jit Sin is the name of a group of five schools in Penang, Malaysia. History Foundation Jit Sin School was originally a free school offered by Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple (福德正神庙) in 1894 at Market Street, Bukit Mertajam, Penang. The institution's building was several two-story shop lots opposite the Hock Teik Cheng Sin Temple in Pek Kong Cheng. The school is now shops of Sin Guan Lee and Kong Chan at the corner lot. In 1918, the institution's name changed to Jit Sin Primary School and opened on March 2. Prior to its opening, there were over 80 students from first grade to fourth grade. Early years On October 10, 1922, all Chinese schools across Malaysia were closed down pursuant to the School Registration Act 1920. The first batch of graduates of Jit Sin Primary School had their graduation ceremony the second year of the closure. In December 1941, the school was suspended during the Malayan campaign and reopened in 1945 after the Japanese occupation of Malaya. At that time, institutions worked as a whole. Jit Sin Primary School was located at a milk packaging factory on Aston Road. Due to the deprivation of education during war time, education was given for free, and student enrollment increased drastically as a result. For the Jit Sin branch campus, there were over 1,000 students. At the end of 1945, the schools resumed standard operations. Jit Sin Primary School was officially reopened in 1946. In 1948, the main campus on Market Street was demolished by municipal regulation. Although there were other campuses and schools, they were unable to accommodate the increasing number of students. The new campus was to be built on Aston Road, Bukit Mertajam. On the National Day of the Republic of China in 1949, Zhong Zhen School and Xin You School were merged into Jit Sin Primary School for unity and development. The date was established as the anniversary of the founding of the school, but it was later changed to October 9. Secondary school Jit Sin Junior High School was officially established in 1950 for the convenience of the primary school's students and the first principal was Zhang Gong Da. In 1952, 17 classrooms were completed finished in the new campus in Aston Road . For primary school, most classes were transferred to the new campus and shared the same classrooms with junior high.
