The government`s decision to make changes in the education system augurs well for the future of Malaysia. We must accept the fact that there is something not right in the system. We have beautiful schools and colleges but poor enrolment. Generally, the public perception of these schools is not good.
One generation of trial and error has gone and we are still struggling to find a better education system for our children.
We need good and honest leaders to turn around the national schools and make them the schools of choice.
In the 1960`s we had good principals and dedicated teachers. There were premier schools in most towns and cities.
The results from these schools brought pride and glory to the parents, schools and country. Today, we rarely hear of them.
The Ministry of Education must seriously implement the mother tongue policy. This is a globalised world and learning another language will be an asset to the students.
Engage quality language teachers for the job. Introduce civics and religious studies too.
