Is our Education system failing?

Dinesweri Puspanadan, Malaysia Chronicle

When a single sold subject is raised; ' Is a preparation complement good?', infancy of Malaysians, unconditional in reserve their domestic preferences as well as individual principles, echo a single mutual answer; NO. Whether you like it or not, you need to accept a actuality which a preparation complement has been failing.

Before exploring this emanate further, let me remind you which you have been not going to discuss a issues of passing examinations with drifting colors, enrolling in to prestigious Higher Institutes,or graduating as a gold medalist but an additional dimension of education, genuine hold up education.

Recalling a single of my buddies' twitter recently; 'No a single can dictate to you WHAT to consider if you know HOW to think'. Has a preparation complement has been training a kids how to think? Food for thought.

Look during a undergraduates. How most of them do you consider have been vocal as well as in accord with with their thoughts? Supposedly, undergraduates should set a great example. Contradictorily, their acts have been not together with their thoughts. Some of their responses to Adam Lambert's unison is a great example. One of a justifications they used to oppose a unison is it could inspire homosexuality. Ironically, this group fights for students' freedom. Don't you consider which by putting brazen a single group's demand, you have been essentially surpassing an additional group's rights? Who have been you to confirm for a others even if they have been usually a minority? Are not these students 'educated' upon creation in accord with justifications? Mind you, they have been a 'future leaders'.

Our Philosophy of Education emphasizes holistic expansion quite egghead expansion in learning. Intellectual people have been customarily able to discuss any emanate notwithstanding a attraction without offending others. They tend to be reduction defensive as well as some-more tactful during your convenience they present their arguments which they normally back with loads of justification. They have been open to critique as well as these people additionally most times present constructive feedback. How most Malaysians do you consider fit to this category?

Politicians especially have been driven by their own domestic bulletin to a border where they speak things which have reduction sense. They shut up a public, they penalize those who speak their mind, as well as during a finish of a day they finish up creation fools of themselves as well as a people's shouting stocks. We can usually curtsy a heads during their stupidity. On a alternative side, you have a bunch of people who have been browsing for opportunities to whack their 'enemies'. If someone really cares for a people as well as a nation, they should suggest prolonged term solutions for problems instead of wasting their time slamming others. Where just have been these people's egghead expansion restrained?

Some Malaysians have been either as well outspoken or as well reticent as well as fearful to stand up for their rights. Their 'tak apa' perspective surpasses their capability to consider as well as reason which during a finish erodes their capability to empathize with others. How most of Malaysians have been endangered about what happened to Aminul Rasyid, Teng Beng Hock, Kugan?(the list continues). Many essentially take a step back during your convenience it comes to a fight for justice.

The implementation of a preparation complement fails where most of a products have been dead as well as they have been lerned to mind their own business. Our people have been lacking a clarity of ownership. How do you consider this could ! be culti vated if administration department work lands upon teachers' shoulders as well as they have to complete a synopsis before a examination. In a little worse cases, a little teachers even crop up sanctified with 'making babies' choice via their service! With these sort of conditions, how do you consider you could yield space for a kids to explore themselves, set up relationships with their friends as well as learn new things by exploration. Feelings have been not taught but shaped by experiences with their buddies during their learning. Does a preparation complement yield a space?

The top point of a great preparation should be a capability to see every tellurian being as a single in any case of their race, color, as well as creed. Issues of competition as well as sacrament have been always twisted in a country. When it comes to these issues, a single should not subject why? But why? Isn't doubt partial of learning? Hilariously, most have been shut off when it comes to a emanate of religion. Why aren't you authorised to subject a validity of certain practices in religion? Why should a single sold sacrament crop up as higher to another? Is your God different than mine?

Disappointingly, even so called 'educated' people have been not rebuilt for table-talk when it comes to religion. They insult alternative people's ideology as well as have fun of rituals as well as prayers. How have been you sure which your sacrament is a best as well as higher to alternative religions? Did God crop up in your mental condition as well as present an educational paper to prove it?

We destroy to understand which sacrament is a set of disciplines which beam us via a life. Remember which even Holy books have been created formed upon interpretations supposing by prophets. Interpretation varies according to people's beliefs, background, as well as culture as well as that's a reason because ! cults ha ve been formed. In this context, a preparation complement has failed miserably. It fails to form a make up of vicious meditative between a learners. They have been surpassed from thinking. Putting it in a exposed form, preparation is politicized. Others confirm what you should subject as well as what you should not in a name of religion!

10-year-old kids even speak about skin color, calls his buddies from alternative races names, makes fun of a rituals of alternative religions as well as this kid is a destiny parent who is going to husband his family. What personality would his kid have? Something for us to ponder.

Our preparation complement needs a set of effective implementation. It needs to cross a boundary of scoring As as well as has to teach a kids about being great tellurian beings as well as not straight-A students with distressing perspective as well as who twitter as well as comment unsteadiness with shallow as well as skewed logic.

By a way, Tun Mahathir, have been there any handicaps supposing to safeguard integrity in a expansion of a spiritual, intellectual, as well as attitude?
