Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan (C) Kwang Hwa, Butterworth itu apa sih? Jelaskan dalam bahasa melayu ya

SJK (C) Kwang Hwa is a combination of Shi Tai School and Chung Yi School. In 1936, Shi Tai School was founded by En. Ong Chin Yu while Chung Yi School was established by local residents. Both schools were closed during the occupation of Japan. In 1945, after the Japanese surrendered, local residents tried to combine Shi Tai school and Chung Yi school into Kwang Hwa Primary School. The first Headmaster was Mr. Ong Jian Xia. At that time the number of students was only 127 people in 3 classes.

Due to the rapid increase in the number of students, 2 blocks of board buildings with 16 classrooms and a small hall were built from 1946 to 1963.

At the end of 1961, Professor Ong Jian Xia retired and Mr. Nee Tze Chong was appointed headmaster of the School Board. The school received government subsidies from 1962.

As the Development Committee was actively developing this school, En. Nee Tze Chong retired on 28th. January 1979 and replaced by En. Lim Wai Long as headmaster.
