5 Wishes for Education in
Malaysia For 2013
Wishes for
Education in
Malaysia
A revamp of the
History syllabus
A less rigid, more
flexible style of
education
More opportuni
ties for all
Resolve the
PPSMI debate
A more holistic
education
The History syllabus as it is, is too myopic in its scope
The History Syllabus is also incredibly rigid: the textbook lists a few factors causing an event, and anything out of the book is usually considered wrong.
The issue: We need to broaden the syllabus to reflect an increasingly globalized world. It is ironic that while the rest of the world has become more inclusive of other cultures and histories, Malaysia the melting pot of cultures, better positioned than many others to take advantage of globalization has gone the other way.
The proposal:
A revamp of the History syllabus
• This was mentioned briefly regarding History, but I think perhaps Moral Education is a far better example of the sheer frustration of the system.
The issue:
• The problem is widespread in the education system. Rigid mark schemes and teachers fearing to make their own decisions make the safer choice the premier choice. Certain syllabuses need to be restructured: Moral Education being one of them.
The proposal:
A less rigid, more flexible style of education
The issue:
There is the perennial problem of scholarships for tertiary education. We need to offer opportunities for vocational education and improve the capabilities of our skilled workforce.
The proposal:
The government should encourage companies to partner up with vocational training centres, and incentize these companies in setting up training centres of their own.
More opportunities for all
The Issue :
• Whether its BM or English, let's just get it over and done with. This flitting about in the span of a few years has thrown everyone from parents to teachers to book publishers in disarray.
• Malaysia has had a huge drop in rankings, with deterioration in both Math and Science subjects.
The Proposal :
• Education reform is a long, grueling process. Teacher trainers need to be hired, teachers need to be trained, book publishers need to write, examiners need to reach a standard of largely uniform marking.
• The whole system needs time.
Resolve the PPSMI debate
The Issue :
Our education system emphasizes the superiority of the Science stream above the "dumb" Arts stream.PE class has been reduced to a young substitute teacher giving children a ball and letting them do whatever they want. Art class has degenerated into teachers giving random assignments and uninterested students messing around.
The Proposal
PE teachers should be properly trained to teach vital and basic issues such as warming up before exercise, proper rules of games played and how to deal with a pulled muscles.hope that as we enter this important year of change, we will bear in mind these issues. education for our children is an important thing
A more holistic education
