so unker qqq3, how long would it take for the education system to recover to it's former glory? or be functional at the very least so that you will send your grandchildren to?

punter

our youth minister is home grown and he is from middle class family................

That shows Malaysian schools got hope.

for now its a rarity.....in 20 years time, hopefully more syed siddiq

what is certain is that on average, the schools are very lousy...the syllabus very lousy, the tests very lousy.

but lousy schools also produce street smart people....and it is these street smart people who became very productive later in life.

unker qqq3 good that you know the education standard is lousy, you are talking about a select few who will be street smart and very productive in life (ie starting a business or etc), but what we are look at is the majority, look at Singapore, their education standard is top notch, that's why their GDP per capita is so freaking high. We need to reach that standard... Syed Saddiq is an exception, he is just like the Warren Buffet in the investing world, how many of him can you get? He's like the best of the best, which means there isn't many like him even 20 years from now unless you can raise the education standard to a point that everyone has to be like him to even graduate.

It's a competitive world, if we don't fix what's the root cause of the problem we will soon become a poor country. That's the world today. Modern developed countries are incorporating coding as a core subject into their primary level education. What are we doing now? Implement cashless transactions in school? How is that going to help us become more competitive? Or even help us to survive Industrial Revolution 4.0???

And talk about our graduates lacking the skillsets required for the jobs. Some can barely use Microsoft Excel properly, why?? Because the syllabus didn't teach them that!

Posted by Heavenly PUNTER > 2019-03-29 17:40 | Report Abuse

While we are struggling with Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint, other people is learning how to code in Python and other programming languages which will automate all the menial and repetitive tasks, how are we going to compete with them? I think that is one of the reason why our income is so low. The skillsets being taught to our graduates are barely sufficient to meet the minimum requirements in the companies!

nothing makes more sense that making sure every kampong boy knows how to swim. Basic swimming skills.

Posted by Heavenly PUNTER > 2019-03-29 19:12 | Report Abuse

unker qqq3 even if they know how to swim and they go swim in I don't know what's that thing called, the place where you mine tin ore and become a huge pool, they might still drown even if they know how to swim.

The key is to educate them not to play at dangerous places, not just teaching them how to swim only. Consider this, which one is easier and more practical, more effective? I am sure you know the answer.

Honestly, i hv enoygh seeing this so call leaders inly good in accusing but never come out with valid plan for the good of Malaysia future.

Look at tajudin how he is debating in parliament , he show no respect at all to others and always talk without figure and twist things.
For me i respect opposition as long their arguments valid and respect others

Its a Ying & Yang matter.
They are existing each other to create balancing.

Skill can be learnt and taught. When come to environment practise & study is the only way.

A karate sifu, can be doomed when a sudden attacking happen in a narrowing pathway caused from a street attacker.

Raider! Mining pool are indeed very dangerous! It has a very soft, sticky mud that will pull you deeper like quick sand! What authority should do is to reclaim the whole think to prevent future tragedy! Or turn it into floating solar farm!

But to say swimming is useless is something i can't accept! So many get drown in seashore that mining pool! Perhaps you are very lucky because you never seen river, sea or mining pool so swimming is not necessary for you! Then again that's what chinese China excuse for not learning to swim!
