THERE is a need to change certain aspects of the school curriculum so that educators can inculcate character-building modules and values in students at a young age. Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said there was a possibility that reform would take place in the curriculum used for early childhood education to make room for imparting of values, such as hard work, national pride and pride in quality of work....... He said a person’s values determined his or her success in life, and by extension, a society’s value system would determine a country’s success..... whenever they do something they want their products to be recognised by people as good quality products. Then they will feel proud. “But if they produce things that are of poor quality, they feel ashamed of themselves. “You see, you give knowledge to somebody but (if) you don’t shape his character to use his knowledge, he uses that knowledge for bad things.

Mother of All Misadventures, Disunity and Discord:

What actual dire values to be cultivated based on local need ?

(Leadership matters)



1. Ethnorelativism To Mutual Respect, Sincere Cooperation And Lasting Unity

An acquired ability to see many values and behaviors as cultural rather than universal.

And every cuktural mime....... as a unit of human cultural transmission, such as a ritual, melody, fashion, or catch-phrase...... similar to gene............does evolve as it spreads and time passes. 

This evolution is primarily spurred by the fact that people refine the memes or simply don’t “copy” the information exactly when they transmit it to another human.  

(Basis for school kids to learn various religions)





2. Diversity As Local Strength and Treasure To Sustainability


The primary advantage of diversity is that it gives flexibility. A diverse group is better at handling a variety of complex challenges than a homogeneous one is; quite simply because the latter group are similar to each other, so what is a weak point for one of them, is likely to be a weak point for all of them.

A larger diversity of backgrounds, skills, histories, talents and indeed even genetics themselves makes us better equipped to deal with complex and unexpected problems, because it gives us good odds that at a minimum some of us will be well-equipped for handling whatever challenge we’re facing.

3. Universal Virtues


Resolution 

The quality of being determined and firm action upon decision made.

Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve. Make no excuses for failing to perform.



Frugality 

The quality or state of being frugal : careful management of material resources and fund.

Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing. Make no excuses for squandering tax-payers' money.



Industry 

Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.

Whatever could not be accomolished in the first hundred days, would be done in the next hundred days.





In conclusion, give them only best values to learn.....about humility (i.e. equality), harmony (vs bigotry) and hard-working (vs clutches)

just focus on providing a safe and conducive environment for school kids and some freedom for educators to expand their teaching skills using new methods or technology in line with world development should see improvement already. no need to brainwashed children to conform and restrict educators to conform to some same standards set out by certain people. you cant control people ma.... and people are not machines that you can programme!

A system that wrongly overemphasizes and put too much importance and rigidity....

...... in collective conformity.......over individual creativity


unfortunately manned by supposedly multiculturally competent educators ..........but have no regards to cultural prejudice to the unhealthy extent of socially discrimatory



...... all levels from innocent lower primary to supposedly matured (but.not) university





And all the edu mini......had taken.....and continue to take full salary.....but work with one eye closed
